This wine comes from Rioja, but “Rioja” cannot appear on the label because of DO restrictions against wine exported in “bulk.” The moderately warm days and cool nights force the grapes to ripen slowly, bringing bright aromas and concentrated fruit flavors. The soils are clay and sandy limestone. Post harvest the grapes (100% Tempranillo) soak cold for 5 days at 45°F, to enhance aromas, color and flavor. Following fermentation, maceration is extended for 10 days to extract all beneficial color and tannins. The wine is aged in stainless steel to emphasize the pure, young flavor of the Tempranillo grape.
