Viticulture

Vineyard

Ysios Selección is the representation of Tempranillo from Rioja Alavesa, located in several small plots distributed in villages close to the winery such as Laguardia, Páganos, Lapuebla, Elvillar, etc. All these vineyards are planted in goblet (bush vines), dry-farmed, and over 35 years old. The respect for tradition with a forward-thinking mindset produces this true expression of Rioja Alavesa.

Vintage

September – October

Process and aging

The 2019 harvest was quite reduced and extraordinary in quality. Due to irregular fruit set, the clusters were small and very loose. Thus, the grapes enjoyed perfect health conditions. The ripening phase started well, with moderate daytime temperatures and cool nights. This, combined with the absence of rain, allowed for a low incidence of pests and diseases throughout the cycle.

The grapes were selected from different towns in Rioja Alavesa, showing the diversity of the region. The harvest was carried out manually in 12 kg boxes. We started in mid-September in the earliest vineyards closest to the Ebro River and continued until the beginning of October with the vineyards located in higher and cooler areas, with a greater Atlantic influence. The fermentation of the different plots was carried out separately in different tanks, at controlled temperatures, and was followed by a minimum aging of 12 months in French oak barrels of different sizes.

Tasting

Color

Appealing and vivid cherry-red colour.

Nose

Intensely perfumed, with notes of red fruits, forest berries and black fruit tumbling out of the glass. Delicate hints of spices and minerality add to its beautifully balanced character.

Mouth

Elegant and fresh, with hints of both red and black fruits, complemented by subtle toasty undertones. Silky on the palate, with enveloping tannins and a long, graceful finish.
