Winery
The grapes for Prima are sourced from vines between 10 and 35 years of age from the villages of San Roman de Hornija, Villaster, Morales de Toro and Villafranca de Duero. The vineyards for this wine are growing in san- dy-clay soils with gravelly subsoils as opposed to the stonier soils of fruit sourced for San Roman. Vineyards are trained both en vaso and to wire. The young estate vines were planted at higher density. The grapes are harvested by hand with a selection of grapes in the vineyard. The wine is fermented in temperature controlled, conical, stainless steel tanks which allow for caps to naturally be broken very softly during pump overs. The wine was aged for 14 months in second and third fill French and American oak barrels, which had previously been used for the maturation of San Roman.

Tasting Note
Opaque ruby. Ripe blue fruit, cola and floral oil scents pick up notes of lico- rice and allspice as the wine opens up. Fleshy and seamless in the mouth, offering bitter cherry, boysenberry and violet pastille flavors enlivened by a spicy nuance. Turns sweeter with air and repeats the floral note on the gently tannic finish, which lingers with very good tenacity.
