It fermented with some whole bunches and indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and aged in 600-litre barrels for 10 months. It has a discreet, insinuating, harmonious nose, conveying calm and balance; the palate is polished and elegant, with very fine tannins. It's not extremely complex, but pleasant and approachable, with 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.5. The finish is clean and tasty, with a pleasant chalky feel. 1,800 bottles were produced.

In Rioja he has 11.3 hectares; 6.8 in Bizkaiko Txakolina; and 2.5 in Toro.
