Variety

Tempranillo 68 % and Graciano 32 %

A vintage marked by a very positive vegetative cycle that resulted in optimal ripening of the grapes, thanks to the excellent sanitary and vegetative condition of the vineyard and the condition of the bunches, which were loose, well aerated and accompanied by the moderate vigor of the plants. The result was wines with extraordinary tannin ripeness, high polyphenolic content, marked structure and intense color. Excellent wines for the production of long aging wines.

Tempranillo: The estates are located in one of the highest hills in Fuenmayor (Los Blancos and Los Llanos). More than 40 years of age, the vineyards are dry-farmed and bush trained, with predominately sandy soils with pebbles. Light levels are high due to the altitude, helped by fresh breezes in summer. These estates produce no more than 4,000 kg/ha. For the second time in this vintage, a vineyard located in Badarán (Arijas) with a Tinta de Toro clone was selected to co-ferment with the grapes from the Fuenmayor.

Graciano: This grapes comes from the Rioja oriental, in the Tudelilla area, Exceptional ripening has given us grapes with the highest expression of tannin and color, together with exquisite acidity.

Testimonials

Produced in what Mercedes García describes as the "magnificent" 2019 vintage, this is a scented, alluring, well-crafted cuvée of Tempranillo and 32% Graciano. Sweetly wooded in "mixed" French and American oak barrels, it's perfumed, sappy and structured, with coffee bean, vanilla, bramble and black cherry flavours and supporting acidity. 2025-32
