Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 80% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano, 3% Garnacha Tinta, 2% Mazuela.
Prado Enea grapes are always the last to be harvested. This is a careful selection of plots at altitude with high quality grapes, located northwest of La Rioja Alta, in the municipalities of Sajazarra, Cellorigo and Fonzaleche. The grapes ferment in oak vats. The maceration period is between 14 – 16 days, which is followed by a minimum of 36 months in French and American oak barrels, to provide complexity. At the end of the aging period, the wine is lightly clarified with fresh egg whites before being bottled and kept in our cellar for at least another 36 months, in order to complete the aging process and provide elegance.
