It has been aged for 20 months in French oak barrels and has undergone a further 24 months of bottle aging.
Bierzo Designation of Origin (D.O.)
The Bierzo region is located in the northwest of the province of León, within the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León, and covers an area of 2,954.28 kilometers, which represents 18% of the provincial territory.
Vineyards in El Bierzo are characterized by fragmented plots, small-scale ownership, and sloping terrain, ranging from 450 to 800 meters. Its soils have a loamy texture, moderately acidic, with no carbonates, typical of humid climates. Sloping soils are made up of a mixture of coarse elements, quartzites, and slates.
El Bierzo has a very special microclimate, very suitable for the crops in the area. The natural barrier of the Sierra de los Ancares calms the intensity of the Atlantic storms and creates a continental climate, with oceanic influence, suitable for vine cultivation, which receives the right amount of rain and sunshine.
