These parcels are located in three valleys surrounding the winery Remelluri, Valderremelluri and Villaescusawhich belong to the municipalities of Labastida (Rioja Alavesa) and Rivas de Tereso, a hamlet that belongs to San Vicente de La Sonsierra (Rioja Alta). The vines are planted on poor limestone terraces with clay-calcareous soils.

WINEMAKING:Grapes are hand harvested in 20 kg boxes and must is fermented using indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks and small wooden tubs. The resulting wine is then aged for 16 months in French oak barrels.
