"Inviting and complex, the bouquet shows spiced cherry, game, mixed berry compote, floral and toasted almond characters. The palate is ripe and rounded, and offers smooth mouthfeel and attractive fruit intensity, brilliantly structured by fine tannins. This garnacha, tempranillo and viura blend is a delightfully drinking modern Rioja. At its best: now to 2019." Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Medium robe, dark cherry red with violet hints. Pleasant bouquet and where red fruit nuances stand out. Fine and pleasant, smooth and light tannin.

The Najerilla Valley, in the heart of Bioja Alta, at the foot of the Sierra de la Demanda, is an isolated area because of the absence of communication routes and ignored by the big wineries. Despite that, it maintains a heritage of small vineyards at altitude that produce a fruit of extraordinary freshness and quality. The Camino Real crosses through the valley and joined the court of Ndjera with the monasteries of San Mill6n de la Cogolla. For Vintae this valley is part of its origins. Badaran is located there, the village of our founders, the Arambarri family and C6rdenas where our technical director, Raul Acha, grew up among the vines that his family has worked for generations.
