Varieties: Tinto Fino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec. Selected from vineyards located between 750 and 1 m above sea level and from 000 plots located in 37 municipalities of Ribera del Duero.
Harvest: The winter of 2016 – 2017 was cold and dry. A very warm spring hastened the bud burst. The famous frost fell on April 28, which greatly reduced grape production. The summer was very dry but not very hot. The month of September was exceptional, with exceptionally high maximum temperatures and exceptionally low minimum temperatures, with spectacular temperature variations, ideal for the ripening of the grapes. The harvest began on October 4 and ended on November 3 with the Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are healthy and dry. The harvest was very complicated due to the harvest dates and the selection of the grapes, following the spring frost.
Aging: 12 months in 225 liter Quercus Pyrenaica oak barrels from different forests. At the end of the aging process, 35 different wines have been obtained, depending on the origin of the grapes and the type of barrel. This wine is the final blend of all these wines.
