Winemaker Notes
2007 was a year with small yields due to hail in the vineyards at the start of vegetative growth. Nevertheless, grapes were harvested in September with excellent maturity. All of the fruit for this wine comes from estate grown vines and gravity drives all movements of must/wine to minimize hard tannins. Grapes are hand harvested, destemmed but not crushed, macerated for 10 days in temperature controlled tanks followed by aging in 70% French and 30% American oak barrels for 6 months. Bottled without filtration after a gentle egg-white fining.

A big, friendly Ribera with gamey red cherry flavors, this wine's tremendous, lush texture carries all its flavor through the finish. For roast goat.

Welcome. We are Rosa and Moises, we wanted to build our winery in the place we were born: Gumiel de Mercado, a small village in a priveleged location of the Ribera del Duero.
All of our ancestors have cultivated grapes. We received the land from our parents and planted our wines with the same care. In order to obtain the perfect fruit for our wines, we use natural efforts and implemented new technologies.
In 2004 we finished constructing our estate in Gumiel. Every step of the wine-making process is done through gravity, softly picking up our grapes. During fermentation, temperature was controlled through water showers. We look for maximum fruit expressions through middle macerations and gentle crushing. Our wines sleep the time necessary for giving structure without losing identity.
We have 27 hectares of land that grow Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
