Mazuelo gives the red-fruited Garnacha a firmer thread of acidity and a spicy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-picked and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, including 40% whole bunches. Brief daily pump-overs precede basket pressing and malolactic fermentation in steel. Eight months in old French oak follow. The wine settles naturally and is bottled unfiltered with a small sulphur addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit comes from Dicastillo, Olite and Muruzabal, at 410–490 metres.
