Winemaking

Pata Negra Rioja Reserva is obtained from grapes selected low-yielding older vines. These grapes which have a significant polyphenolic concentration are fermented in stainless steel tanks with precise temperatures and maceration to obtain an aromatic, intense and potent wine resulting in malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks for future transfer to barrels of American and French oak where for 27 months the wine will obtain additional aromas from the wood, as well as a complexity and potency that will be fine-tuned at our bottling facilities for a wine with personality and excellent development in the short, medium and long term.

Winemaking

Pata Negra Crianza is a wine made from high quality grapes where acidity, sugar and phenolic compounds create a perfect balance. These carefully harvested grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks with maceration times and temperatures that lend themselves to a special, very aromatic and flavorful wine. Once malolactic fermentation is achieved, the wine is sent to American and French oak barrels, which subtly provides the wine with the more special characters that make it a complex, intense and surprising wine.
