Varietales Maturana

A hidden gem, a grape of surprising elegance

Varieties

Maturana Tinta

Vineyard

Made from the recently rediscovered Maturana Tinta grape variety, grown in two of our vineyards in Rioja Oriental, Finca Los Almendros in Ausejo and Monte Araoz estate in Mendavia. The Mediterranean climate and alluvial calcareous soils are ideal to grow this indigenous and hidden gem.

Vinification and ageing

After vinification, we carefully age this wine in French-oak barrels selected from the best coopers, performing daily tastings and measurements during a 12-month period.
