Vintage 2024

OriginGrapes from an old Garnacha vineyard in San Juan de la Nava (Alto Alberche). Decomposed granite soil, mainly sandy in texture but with abundant silt content, which gives the wine finesse and "calcareous length".«

ElaborationHand-harvested with careful selection in the vineyard and winery. Whole cluster maceration. Foot-trodden until spontaneous fermentation begins, for progressive release of the must. 45 days of very gentle maceration (infusion) with skins and stems, for delicate extraction. Aged in demi-muid Used in a 600-liter vat, and aged for the last month in a concrete tank. Natural clarification and stabilization during aging. Bottled unfiltered.

Limited and numbered production of 800 bottles

CataRuby in color with a certain transparency. On the nose, it evokes the freshness of mountain red fruits (wild strawberries, red currants), floral notes, and a slightly spicy background. On the palate, it is agile and elegant, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a clean, expressive, fresh, and mineral finish.
