A village wine from Elvillar de Álava. The grapes are sourced from young, Biodynamically farmed vines with an average of 30 years of age. The vineyards are dry-farmed bush vines in calcareous clay soils.
Vinification
85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha, 5% Viura. The grapes are harvested manually and immediately transported to the winery where the grapes are destemmed and placed in concrete tanks. Spontaneous fermentation starts with native yeast and without temperature control allowing the process to occur naturally.
Aging
Once finished, the wine is pressed and placed into French oak of different capacities where it aged for 12 months.
