Colour pale straw |
|
Bouquet Fragrant bouquet of white and yellow flowers (elder-acacia) with a twist of citrus peel, followed by some spice (anis, fennel) and mineral yeasty tones |
|
Flavour balanced by a touch of residual sugar, very pure, fragrant and yet striking with its light fruit tones like fresh vineyard peaches, a crisp acidity backbone that highlights spice and minerals; this wine is elegant, slender, crisp and perfect in its youth |

It holds all the attributes that characterize the great wines of the world: elegance, exclusivity and eternity.
The flagship, a benchmark in the D.O. Ca Rioja with an unquestionable recognition worldwide. It represents the consistency of a project started in 1852 and masterfully maintained. Part of its greatness resides on the fact that it is only made in selected vintages. Castillo Ygay has developed a great complexity over the years without losing its exceptional freshness and demonstrating its superb quality and ma rked elegance.

A manually selected harvest is done in small crates to keep the perfect conditions of the grapes
Winemaking
Grapes are de-stemmed after going through a selection table. The grape varieties ferment separately in stainless steel tanks, with controlled temperature. The alcoholic fermentation lasts 10-12 days approx. making regularly pumping over and delestage operations to favor the contact of the must with the skins and extract slowly the aromas and the phenolic compounds.
The tempranillo is aged for 34 months in 225-litre American oak barrels and the mazuelo is aged for 34 months in 225-litre French oak barrels. After blending, the wine remains 20 months in a concrete tank until bottling.
Empowering adults to make a lifetime of responsible alcohol choices as part of balanced lifestyle
