Made using Tempranillo and other grape varieties grown in our estate surrounding the Benedictine Monastery, which vineyard was planted in 1985. The Mediterranean climate, limited yield and calcareous gravel soils provide structure and complexity to our wines.
Aged for 18 months in new French-oak barrels and then for a further 6 months in 10,000-litre French-oak foudres. The size of the foudres reduces the wine’s contact with the wood, allowing for longer ageing, reducing the tannins and toasty oak aromas. This mixed ageing process results in rounded tannins, greater complexity and flawless fruit flavours
