Elaboration

This Red Wine is made with the following grape varieties: 90% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo from low-yielding vineyards, and 5% unknown varieties found in old vineyards. Traditional vinification is carried out, with a maceration period of three weeks and fermentation between temperatures of 20ºC and 26ºC; with respective daily pump-overs and delestage.

According to records, there is cartographic evidence showing that many of the vineyards of Bodega Ondarre with the varieties of Mazuelo and Tempranillo have been planted for over 70 years, which brings great uniqueness and personality to the wines.
