| Origin |
From 'El Consul' (7 ha), ' La Misela'(3 Ha) and 'Terrazas' (7 Ha). |
| Climate |
Thanks to excellent weather conditions, the vegetative growth cycle of our vines manifested an optimal development during the ripening process. The month of September was very important to ensure good ripening, thanks to the temperature contrast between day/night, essential for the further ageing of the wine. The 400 ml. rainfall was perfectly spread during the months of the growth cycle. It was an ideal year for red varietals, obtaining wines with fine tannin structure and length. |
