Baigorri Fermentado en Barrica

Initially a project to recover the most inherent value of the Viura grape, now transmitting its full potential-subtle elegance, complexity and enormous aging potential. Several plots located in the villages Samaniego, Navarides and Leza, Rioja Alavesa, at 550m with its typical calcareous clay soils and average ages vines of 60 years. Sustainable viticulture. 100% handcraft. After manual picking and hand-selection the must macerates with the grape skins some hours before its pressing. The fermentation and ageing (8 months) of the wine, in contact with its fine lees and regular batonnage, take place in French oak barrels with especially light or without toasting. 95p IWC, 92p Tim Atkin, 90 Guía Peñín.
