Rioja Gran Reserva, 'Vina Arana', La Rioja Alta 2017

• The basic grape variety is Tempranillo (95%) from Las Cuevas, El Palo and Las Monjas vineyards in Rodezno complemented with 5% Graciano from the Montecillo estate in Fuenmayor • We started the grape harvest with the Tempranillo and some days later we picked the Graciano in Montecillo • All the grapes were placed in small boxes and taken to the winery in refrigerated transport to preserve their integrity • Alcoholic fermentation took place in tanks • Malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously and the selected wines were transferred to American oak barrels (made in-house) with an average age of 3 years • During the three years the wines were aged, they were racked every six months.
