Elaboration and Ageing:

Made with the varieties Tempranillo (95%), Cabernet Sauvignon (3%) and Merlot (2%) from 8 estates that make up the Finca Real Sitio de Ventosilla located in Gumiel de Mercado (Burgos) at an altitude of 813 meters above sea level. Manual harvesting, followed by cold pre-fermentation for 3 or 4 days. Then it goes on to ferment at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks for 15 days with autochthonous yeasts. Once the process has been completed, the wine is aged on its own lees for 3 months in European and American oak barrels and 5 months in the bottle.

In 1921, it passed definitively to private individuals.
