Description

With 350 hectares of outstanding vineyards, split across 870 different plots, the viticultural department control every aspect. Each of the plots has its own personality and is categorised and used for different wines according to its characteristics. The vines used for the Reserva have an average age of 40 years.

Winemaking
Upon entering the bodega, bunches undergo a sorting process based on their weight. Following this double selection process, they are de-stemmed and crushed before undergoing fermentation and then maceration in stainless steel tanks for a total of 21 days, obtaining better colour extraction as well as much more complex and tannic wines, suitable for prolonged ageing. The wine is aged for 18 months in barrels of new French and American oak, then clarified and bottled without filtration.

Tasting Notes

Tim Atkin 91

Still made in the Luis Canas style of old, where the French and American oak influence was more marked, this is a firmish, well-structured cuvee of Tempranillo and 5% Graciano from a cooler, more Atlantic vintage. Smoky and chewy with blackberry and wood smoke flavours and supporting acidity. 2025-32. [Tim Atkin, 26/02/2025]
