This wine comes from a small plot of 3 hectares of vineyards with vines of between 40 and 80 years of age with low yields.
The wine is fermented in new French and American oak barrels for 15 days. Once fermentation is completed, the wine is aged in the same barrels, on its lees, for nine and a half months before being transferred to Murua’s bottle cellars.
The initial aromas are of honey and cedar wood while dry grass and spicy flowers emerge later. On moving the glass, other fresher and more floral aromas, such as tea, appear. After time, the wine evolves and gains complexity.
The palate is fresh, with great intensity and length. This amazing wine is fantastic to drink now on release but will continue to improve over the next 10-15 years.
