This exceptional and unusual Rioja is made from 40 year old Tempranillo vines grown in the Rioja Alta. It is a limited production Crianza, fermented in large oak barrel rather than steel vat and matured in barrique for 14 months in French oak and a further 9 months in bottle before release. The wine displays an intense dark garnet colour with aromas of fresh red berry, plum and cherry followed by subtle oak and smoked notes on the palate, with well structured tannins and a long balanced finish.
