Juan Carlos Sancha · DOCa Rioja

Maturana Blanca, a minor native variety authorised by the Consejo Regulador de la Rioja in 2008. It comes from old terraces at 565 metres, with iron-rich clay-limestone soils and plenty of rolled pebbles, and vines of around twenty years. The grapes are pressed whole, settled statically and fermented at 16 °C in new 500-litre French oak barrels, where the wine stays for five months on the lees.
