This wine is sourced from three vineyards - Agrelo (950 m), Villa Bastias (1,120 m) and Gualtallary (1,450 m). Each is divided into lots that are harvested at different times ensuring the fruit is absolutely perfectly ripe. The inimitable Laura Catena works with chief winemaker Alejandro Vigil to create this remarkable blend. |
