This wine is made from Tinta Fina (Tempranillo), sourced from vineyards in Castrillo de Duero at an altitude of 920 meters. The grapes are hand-harvested in small 15 kg crates at the precise moment of optimal ripeness. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, adding extra complexity and depth.
