VARIETAL COMPOSITION
100% Tempranillo
VINEYARD NOTES
Grapes hail from low-yielding, goblet-trained vines (aged 45-65 years) rooted in clay-calcareous soils at 590-670m in La Rioja Alavesa (Labastida), framed by the Toloño mountains. Manual harvesting ensures purity, followed by cluster and berry selection. The vineyard's mineral soils, elevation, and strict viticulture nurture depth and freshness— forming the foundation for Prestigio's intensity, elegance, and unique identity within prestigious Rioja terroir.
TASTING NOTES
Deep cherry-red with violet hues, the nose reveals ripe blackberry, plum, and sloes, layered with graphite, spice, and complex aromatic depth. The palate is powerful yet balanced by fresh acidity, offering sweet tannins and a meaty profile. Flavors of dark fruit compote, blackberries, spice, and subtle oak unfold into a long, harmonious finish. Structurally impressive and rich, Prestigio provides enduring elegance and refined power worthy of extended cellaring.
