Additional information
The 2023 vintage was characterized by extreme drought and very high temperatures. This resulted in excellent vine health due to the lack of humidity, lower acidity, and also high-quality grapes in vineyards with slower ripening. September 2024
Garnacha was the dominant grape variety in Rioja Baja until no more than 40 years ago, but it now occupies less than 10% of the planted area. With this wine, we highlight the qualities of this variety in a specific location: the high-altitude vineyards on the northern slopes of the Sierra de Yerga, and the suitability of these conditions for its cultivation.
