The beginning of the cycle was complicated by summer storms that leave water and some very localized hailstorm that reduces the risk of crop and causes downy mildew and powdery mildew.

The amount of malic was higher than average, so after malolactic fermentation the wines are well balanced, with excellent pH. The tempranillos are presented fairly austere but very aromatic. Cabernets in its line, medium structure and not very herbaceous aromas. Raising was held for 18 months in French oak barrels and amCrianza: 18 months in barrels of French and American oak.
