In 1858, it was the first winery in Rioja to produce wines using the Bordeaux method. In 1972, it was the first to promote the Rueda Designation of Origin. A blend of 90% Tempranillo & 10% Graciano (varies sometime Mazuelo is added). A powerhouse of aromas, berry, sweet spice and some citrus on the nose. On the palate, dark berry fruits, cacao, some smoky pepper with a savory character. Fine tannins, nice balance and good length ending with slight mineral, oak and earthy tones. Great value, short term aging potential. — 8 years ago
Great blend of malbec and corvina, light appassimento method, meaty, powerful, strong, lots if red fruits but earthy flavours as well. Rough tannins with some peppery notes, rather long aftertaste. My type of wine! — 9 years ago

Classic method from Hampshire in the UK, 12%. My first taste of sparkling wine from Great Britain. Light, but intense yellow color, with very fine perlage. "Cold" nose, with scents of confectionery, but a bit "pollaio" too. In the mouth immense acidity (a bit too much for me), and very citrous . Not my favorite. 81/100 — 12 years ago
