Vineyard

Rioja Alta – PDO Rioja. From Plot 2. From within this plot, the lowest producing vines are individually selected.

Vines Planted

67-year-old bush vines with yields of 3,200 kg/ha (22 hl/ha).

Soil

Terroir: Impressive terroir with a layer of large white pebbles to a depth of about 40cm, covering a loose, sandy sub-soil. This is an ideal soil to grow vines as it has excellent drainage, plenty of light and the roots are well placed to receive all the nutrients they require. The wines produced from this type of soil are fine and elegant.

Vinification

This wine was fermented in 18 French oak barrels, using new and second-use barrels and keeping the temperature below 17ºC.

Aging Process

Kept for a further nine months in the same barrels, with a daily battonage.

Production

Total production of 4,760 75 cl bottles and 100 magnums.

Accolades

2014 Vintage

James Suckling
December – 2016
“Mineral and fruity on the nose and palate with buttery and butterscotch undertones. Medium body, tangy acidity and a medium and fruity finish. Typical Rioja white. Drink now.”

Wine Advocate
August – 2016
“A selection from older vines from a specific plot planted some 68 years ago; it fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in new and used barriques for nine months. It does have some spicy and smoky aromas, but in general the oak is nicely integrated, clean and subtle, with white flower and fruit aromas, as well as a silky palate with good volume and acidity. This could very well be the best white produced at La Emperatriz so far. 6,000 bottles.”
