Harvest the Tempranillo and Mazuelo grapes at their peak ripeness to ensure optimal flavor. This usually occurs in late September to early October in Rioja.

Harvesting Grapes

Crush the harvested grapes and begin fermentation. Ferment the Tempranillo and Mazuelo grapes separately in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve their unique profiles.

Crushing and Fermentation

After fermentation, blend the Tempranillo and Mazuelo wines in a suitable proportion (80% Tempranillo and 20% Mazuelo) to create a balanced flavor profile.

Blending

Transfer the blended wine into oak barrels and let it age for 12 months. This aging process will develop the wine's earthy notes and enhance its plush red fruit flavors.

Aging

Once the aging period is complete, filter and bottle the wine. Allow the wine to rest in the bottle for at least 6 months before release to further develop its complexity.
