Tempranillo
95%, Garnacha 5%. The vines in La Muga and Los Poyatos vineyards are mostly
very old Tempranillo bush vines. Really healthy grapes were harvested and after
slow fermentation in tank at controlled temperatures the wine was transferred
to barrel for 6 months. A mixture of a very few of new American oak barrels,
just to give the spice and toast aromas but mostly 2nd and 3rd year barrels of
predominantly French oak were used to promote the evolution of the wine from a
bright fruit bomb to something more mellow with a roundness and the
unmistakeable stamp of something good, a “Semi-Crianza” of sorts.
