Geology and Soil
Vineyards between 20 and 40 years old selected from small, dry-farmed plots
Poor, sandy and pebbly, with a clayey and calcareous base.
Soil and soil
The climatology of Ribera del Duero is framed within a Mediterranean climate whose primary character is continentality, an extreme climate: dry summers, long and harsh winters, low rainfall (400-500 mm/year average) and a large thermal oscillation (from -20º to 42º C). The consequence of all this is the extraordinary quality of the grapes, small size, thick skin and perfect, slow and late ripening
Wine Pairing
It is a superb choice to accompany light appetizers such as canapés, olives or light cold meats, as well as pasta dishes and light rice dishes.

Preparation
Cold pre-fermentation maceration (15 ºC.) for at least 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature between 25-30Cº, with periodic pumping over and punching down. Total maceration for 12-15 days to preserve the fruit aromas and avoid harshness. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation with indigenous bacteria. Racking and decanting by gravity to eliminate lees before transferring to barrels. Semi-new barrels that respect the fruity aromas. Protein fining to stabilize color, and amicrobic filtration prior to bottling
Remains in barrels for 6 months, with periodic topping up and racking. 70% French oak and 30% American oak.
