Manufacturing: Manual in 15 kg crates during the second week of October. From these vineyards 5,500 kg per hectare are obtained. The 2020 harvest was rated as good in the upper Najerilla, it was a year of very high rainfall in the spring and early summer and significantly lower temperatures.
The months of September and October were very hot
The months of September and October were dry and with higher than average temperatures, coupled with very cold temperatures at night, have achieved a healthy crop with interesting characteristics. The climate has a marked Atlantic influence, in one of the coolest areas of Rioja, with cold winters, mild summers and long, mild autumns. The large temperature variation between day and night causes slow ripening, which is very suitable for the synthesis of polyphenols and aromatic development
After destemming, the grapes are placed in new 500-liter French Tronçais oak barrels where they undergo alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and aging for 11 months in barrels of the same capacity and characteristics.
