The grapes for this 100% Garnacha are sourced from two different parcels located in the village of Almonacid de la Sierra (D.O. Cariñena) growing on mainly clay and limestone soils in what is classified as a continental climate. Limestone establishes the structure, backbone and acidity, while clay lends the elegant expression of fruit. The vines themselves were planted in 1983, at at altitude 650m (2100 feet) above sea level.
Sustainable viticulture is utilized: the vines are dry-farmed and head-pruned. Grapes are harvested by hand using 15 Kg. boxes. Spontaneous fermentation using natural yeast in 1500-liter stainless steel vats, manual pigeage, no remontage and a very soft extraction. 90% of the wine ages for 12 months in a traditional underground concrete vat, whereas 10% of it ages in a 500 liter French oak vats.
