High profile consultants in Rioja who couldn't quite afford the land price in Rioja. So, the move to La Mancha. And there they fine Arien (?) very old vine and Samso, or the clone of Tempranillo i nthe area.
Here, three green harvests to try and control the Arien in order to produce something that would not rip up the old vines. Didn't make sense but trying. 80 year old vines, 1 single plot.
And yes, that is all in the bottle.

Citrus with a slight sweetness. Well balanced but no complexity.
