Additional Information

The wine comes from Rioja, Spain's most famous and prestigious wine region. To the north, it is sheltered by the Cantabrian Mountains, and to the south, by the Ebro River. The vineyards' exposure to the sun is ideal, and the Tempranillo grape thrives here on clay and limestone soils.

Monks on pilgrimage to Compostela in the Middle Ages refreshed themselves with red Rioja. They spread the region's fame throughout Europe. But the real breakthrough came in the 19th century when France was plagued by the phylloxera epidemic. French wine merchants crossed the Pyrenees and taught winemakers in Rioja how to age their wine in small oak barrels. They continue to do so to this day.

Made from 100% Tempranillo. Traditional red winemaking with long maceration of the grapes, followed by 12 months of aging in partially new American oak barrels. It is only released for consumption after 8 months of bottle aging in the cellars of Bodegas de Covila.
