【📝概述】
🇪🇸 葡萄來自位於西班牙上里奧哈 (Rioja Alta) 和 Rioja Alavesa 葡萄酒產區的不同地塊。葡萄藤位於海拔 400 至 700 公尺之間。此地區的風土因地塊而異；有些富含黏土、石灰石和沖積土壤（Rioja Alavesa），而另一些則只有黏土-石灰石土壤（Rioja Alta）。葡萄藤的平均年齡為 70 年。
釀造和熟成：葡萄為手工採摘，只有最成熟的葡萄被挑選出來，在 5 - 6 °C 的溫度下儲存兩天，以增加它們的濃度。一旦這個成熟步驟完成，它們被輕輕壓榨並在控溫下發酵 10-12 天，泡皮浸漬再持續30天。蘋果乳酸發酵在新法國橡木桶中進行並持續定期攪拌整整兩個月。此時這款酒在新法國橡木桶中陳釀 15 個月。之後，直到酒窖主人賣出前此款酒又在酒瓶裡陳釀 24 個月。

【📝Brief intro】
🇪🇸 The grapes come from different plots located in the Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa wine regions. The vines are located between 400 and 700 meters above sea level. The terroir is different from one plot to another. Some are rich in clay, limestone and alluvial soils (Rioja Alavesa) and others have only clay-limestone soils (Rioja Alta). The average age of the vines is 70 years.
Vinification & Maturation: The grapes were harvested by hand, Only the ripest of them were selected and stored for two days at a temperature between 5 - 6 °C to increase their concentration. Once this ripening step was completed, they were gently pressed and then fermented for 10-12 days at a controlled temperature. The maceration then lasted another 30 days. Malolactic fermentation took place in new French oak barrels, with regular stirring, for two full months. It was then that the wine was aged for 15 months, also in new French oak barrels. After that, he waited 24 more months in bottles before the cellar master gave his marketing approval.
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
