AGEING SYSTEM

ELABORATION
Very limited production. 3584 bottles in this vintage. It is made in a very careful and special way.
Lucía wanted it to be a different elaboration, reminiscent of the traditional way of making wine in Rioja Alavesa, but also with an air of innovation. That is why we decided to try fermenting and aging the wine in barrels and amphorae.
The three containers are porous and allow micro-oxygenation of the wine, which gives it more structure and makes the wine longer.
During aging, they provide finesse and volume and result in a greater expression of the grape variety of origin.
