MORE INFORMATION

Viticulture

A west-facing vineyard located in the village of Elvillar, Rioja Alavesa, perched atop a hill at 2,100 feet (646 meters). A 2.9 ha parcel of white chalky limestone soil planted in 1967. We farm the land by horse and follow Biodynamic tenets.

Winemaking

Sourced from the white limestone soils of our Biodynamic estate farmed vineyard, Hapa. This artisanal wine is hand harvested in 10 kilo cases following a rigorous selection in the vineyard. Once in the winery, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation in a concrete tank. Following fermentation the wine is pressed and placed in 500L used barrels for 1 year. 

Taste

Freshness and perfume, wild flowers and berries, mild spices and a fine palate. A fruit forward wine, sappy and savory with muscular tannins.
