Suckling

High-altitude origin, crafted with precision
From the El Encinal estate, located at 570 meters in Rioja Alavesa, nestled at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria. Clay-limestone soils provide structure, minerality, and genuine freshness.
Meticulous vineyard care
5.5 hectares of estate vineyards are manually defoliated in two phases, ensuring controlled ripening and perfect grape health. Reaped by hand in 12 kg boxes and sorted by berry size.
Single variety, artisanal vinification
100% Tempranillo fermented in 7,000 L wooden vats, with a 48-hour cold maceration and a 10-day fermentation. A winemaking approach designed to preserve the fruit and enrich classiness.
Subtle, balanced ageing
Aged for 10 months in French oak barrels (30% new, 70% second and third use), contributing airy notes of vanilla and coconut while preserving the varietal character.
Sensory profile
Deep cherry red with violet hues. Aromas of ripe red fruit, vanilla, and coconut, are all well-integrated. On the palate, fine tannins, balanced freshness, and a smooth, constant finish.
For those seeking a fresh Rioja
A modern, approachable red that merges the fruitiness of Tempranillo with an elegant, gastronomic structure. Ideal with charcuterie, white meats or creamy rice dishes.
