Location: Ribera del Duero Burgalesa
Vineyard: 3.5Ha of vineyards spread over 11 plots in the towns of Pedrosa de Duero, Roa, Anguix and Quintanamanvirgo.
Viticulture: Practicing organic traditional viticulture. All of the vineyards are head trained and dry-farmed. Due to the small size of the project, all viticultural duties including pruning, leaf pulling, plowing by horse, selecting cover crops, and digging soil pits are all carried out by Eduardo.

The whole berries ferment spontaneously in 3,000L French oak vats, with very gentle extraction via pigeage. Total maceration lasts around 20 days. Gentle pressing in a vertical basket press. Late malolactic fermentation (May-June) in neutral 500L French puncheon.
