More Info

The Tempranillo vineyards are located in the areas of El Pego and Villanueva de Campeán within the province of Zamora, and are planted in sandy soils in the traditional “vaso” (aka head-trained/goblet) system. The handpicked grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and then the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels.

"This has a swathe of very richly spicy oak and plenty of toasty notes, too. The depth of flavor is impressive, as is the crisp tannin. Drink or hold."
