This single-vineyard Tempranillo hails from two historic sites in Labastida, of 45 and 80-year-old vineyards on warm, clay-rich slopes. It is brooding yet precise, with dark fruit and smoky nuances.
By choosing mature, warm-site grapes and neutral oak, José emphasises the vineyard’s ripe character while retaining hallmark freshness and depth.
Winemaking: 100% Tempranillo is fermented in stainless steel with ambient yeasts, then aged for 10 months in 500L neutral French oak to preserve purity of fruit.
Pairing Suggestions: Lamb tagine, chorizo-stewed beans or melted Idiazábal cheese.
Tasting Note: Black cherry, plum confit and graphite, with a savoury backbone and a long, harmonious finish.
