92% Tempranillo 8% Graciano from "El Rincon" a vineyard in the South of Briones, a small village in Rioja Alta; vines are between 10-20 years old. Grapes are hand harvested, handsorted and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Aged for 12 months in "second-use" 500L barrels that were previously used for the Reserva wines.

"Two main vineyards, planted in 2001 and 2010, are the principal components of this "young vine" cuvée of Tempranillo and 8% Graciano. Forward and fruity, with very little wood, supple, caressing tannins, graceful raspberry and wild strawberry fruit and balancing acidity. A Rioja for Pinot Noir lovers. 2024-29"
