This impressive, dry, elegantly-styled Rioja offers scents of honeysuckle, citrus oil, white currants, and flowers. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo two selections; a triage table and a must tasting, where they eliminate 50% of the harvest. They are macerated for 12 hours then pressed and placed into new French Allier oak barrels where the wine is fermented and kept sur lie for 4 months
