2001, the inaugural vintage of a new millennium and a year that now forms part of the history of Rioja due to its exceptional quality. The average levels of the analytic data are undoubtedly the highest seen to date, higher even than those of iconic vintages like 1994.
90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano
2001. Excellent
The temperatures were mild in the winter and exceptionally high during certain periods of the spring, getting as high as 40 degrees centigrade in May and June. This led to some moments of hydric stress in vineyards on clay soils. There was very little in the way of frost or hailstorms.
The harvest was almost 20% smaller than the previous vintage, leading to very concentrated grapes with a high skin to pulp ratio. A very homogenous harvest with a great quantity of excellent wines with tannic concentration, alcohol and acidity.
Made using grapes from vines of more than 40 years of age, with yields of 4,700kg/ha.
The grapes came from a small vineyard in the area between Fuenmayor and Cenicero, Rioja Alta.

The grapes were transported to the winery in small trailers to avoid damaging the bunches.
Once the grapes had been destemmed and crushed, they were macerated during alcoholic fermentation at a controlled fermentation at 26º-28ºC, achieving perfect levels of extraction.
After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation took place naturally.
Aged for 36 months in American and Allier French oak barrels.
Once the wine had reached the full expression of its aging, it was bottled to rest and evolve over at least 15 years before being released for sale.
A deep, opaque red color, with a ruby rim and garnet highlights.
It is clean on the nose, with spiced notes, minerals, black fruit and noble oak. Extremely concentrated and aromatic on the nose.
Expressive, powerful, broad and well balanced on the palate with noble tannins. Notes of tobacco leaf and spices. It shows relatively little development for its age; dense, with very pure fruit, freshness and expression.
