The hillside terraced vineyards are sheltered by the Sierra Cantabria Mountains to the north from harsh weather extremes. Small plot production is utilized in this region of infertile chalky clay soil to produce clusters of excellent quality. Almost 900 plots are needed to complete the approximately 400 hectares of estate-owned or cellar-controlled vineyards, some with vines more than 100 years in age.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003cspan\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRuby red color with earthy tones.
