Cold maceration during 48 hours at 16 ºC. Fermented at low temperatures (25 ºC). French-oak aged. Juan Bautista, winemaker and owner, is obsessed with producing enjoyable wines, focusing on young consumers but always trying to achieve great quality. He is also devoted to his village Murillo del Río Leza. Rioja modern style. Prominent fruit on the nose, plumps, sweet notes, very well placed oak. The palate is plump cushioned, extremely rounded but slightly chewy. It has generous fruit. Tannins are very juicy.
