THE WINE:

100% Tempranillo from three high elevation parcels: El Mirón at 920 meters with 60 year old vines

on clay soils; El Gallo at 870-910 meters with 30 year old vines on limestone soils; Las Fuentes

Viejas at 850 meters with over 80 year old vines on clay and limestone soils. Aged 20 months in

French oak, it expresses minerality and lingering black fruit in an extremely terroir-driven and

complex style. Reminiscent of the wines that originally impulsed the Ribera del Duero

phenomenon!

THE WINERY: The Díaz Bayo family are perennial growers in the village of Fuentelcésped, where viticulture

dates to the 1100s and Reconquest of the Duero Valley. Ideal conditions for vines were found along

the Arroyo de la Nava, a high valley just ten miles to the southeast of modern-day Aranda de

Duero. The estate comprises nearly 100 acres in multiple parcels between 2800 and 3200 feet in

elevation, soil types encompassing limestone, marl and clay. Varied exposures further contribute

to fruit diversity and extended harvest.The age of the vines, the great majority old-clone Tinta del

País, ranges from 12 to 100 years, the average being well over 50 years. Viticulture is organic.
