Underwater maturation occurs for 9 months at a depth of 24 meters off the mediterranean coast of Alicante. The aroma, very powerful with an appreciated essence of Rioja Alavesa wine. Flavours such as black fruit compote, notes of Liquorice, tobacco and spices all stand out. The barrel ageing is much more pronounced after the underwater maturation in the form of vanilla and roasted coffee. On the palate, we perceive an abundance of ripe lack and red fruits, almost compotes. A perfectly integrated acidity, which results in a very well-structured, full-bodied wine on the palate. In summary, fruity, powerful and mature without losing the freshness of a young wine. Microvinification of less than 3500 bottles per year.
