An extremely-old-vine field blend of both white and red grapes (95% Tempranillo with the balance in Garnacha and Tempranillo Blanco). Fermented in small cement vats, followed by aging in 225L French oak barrels (75% new) and refined in large 7000L neutral oak casks. As always, Demeter-certified biodynamic. Handsomely attired in the original grape-based artwork of Alfonso Aguirre.

"I like the dried herb, dark cherry and baked plum notes with touches of white pepper and grilled grapefruit. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, with some chewy, stemmy tannins that deliver tension. Arguably rustic, but there are freshness and firmness from the fruit tannins and maybe the stems, too. Long, tightly wound finish, showing intrinsic beauty. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink from 2025."
