Since 1998, the Serrano family has dry farmed more than 70 hectares of certified organic, certified biodynamic estate vineyards in Rioja and Navarra. A continental climate heavily influenced by the Mediterranean, these gorgeous plots located between Calahorra and Andosilla range from 20-40 years old and are cultivated using organic matter, both made from animal manure and pruned grapevine shoots, following all biodynamic principles and incorporating their homemade infusions and composts. These traditional farming practices help create nitrogen in the soils, which lends to healthy regeneration and growth.
Hand-picked at night to retain freshness, a majority of the fruit is destemmed into inox where it naturally ferments on the skins for 7-10 days. One pump-over per day is used to keep the cap fresh and maintain natural temperature. After 10 days on the skins, the wine is racked to stainless steel tanks where it will naturally finish primary and secondary fermentation. No additions except the SO2 allowable within Demeter Biodynamic guidelines.
In 2023, low yields due to frost pressure and weather issues resulted in a warm harvest that brought high quality and concentration.
