#Tempranillo

Region

This wine has been elaborated from grapes cultivated at the state La Planta, owned by Arzuaga Navarro’s family in Quintanilla de Onesimo, the heart of Ribera del Duero. The soil is clay-calcareous and the subsoil is pure limestone at one meter under the surface. The vineyard altitude is 911 meters over the sea level. These specific conditions provide the distinctive features of the wine.

Wine production

The grapes are harvested in the coolest hours of the day, searching for the ideal maturity parameters for this type of wine, enhancing the olfactory-gustatory characteristics of freshness that will later develop in the wine. Once in the winery, they are covered to carry out a cold pre-fermentation maceration for two days in stainless steel tanks before carrying out the alcoholic fermentation for another 7 days at 22oC.

Maturation

Once the fermentations are finished, they will be aged for six months in French and American oak barrels.
