It combines cabernet sauvignon, graciano and syrah, in proportions that vary with the vintage. Fermentation lasts about fifteen days in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by nine months in French and American oak barrels in equal parts.

The winery

Guelbenzu

A family tied to wine since 1851, when records show taxes paid by Martín María Guelbenzu on the wine jugs he sold. For more than twenty years the project has centred on the La Lombana estate in Vierlas (Zaragoza), at the foot of the Moncayo: 46 hectares of vineyard on river-deposit soils of gravel and sand, stony and low in fertility. The wines come under the Vino de la Tierra Ribera del Queiles.
