It has restrained ripeness, 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.4. It shows effervescent freshness, with great cleanliness and precision, focus and balance, ending with a serious, chalky, stony finish. This wine is a clear step up from the 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vg-desc__p\" style=\"margin:0 0 1.15rem;\"\u003e3,100 bottles were produced.

He wants to emulate the old tradition of co-planting and wines with character and freedom. There's a new red from Maturana Tinta, but it's always made, as he says, “my way”, with much lower alcohol and, surprisingly, no pyrazines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vg-desc__p\" style=\"margin:0 0 1.15rem;\"\u003eHe seeks texture and freshness, which for him come from cover crops, compost, soil microbiology and so on. He wants cleanliness, agility and precision in the wines. He has a co-planted keyline vineyard, with 1.5 hectares in San Vicente de la Sonsierra (La Rad, at 600 metres on very chalky soils) and 1.5 hectares in Leza, at 700 metres, which he described as his legacy for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vg-desc__p\" style=\"margin:0 0 1.15rem;\"\u003e2025 was a mildew year, and there will only be Kalamity, as many of the crus won't be made. He's studying Garnacha from Camprovín and Badarán and believes the grape will play a much bigger role in Rioja's future. Kalamity 2025 will be almost 70% Garnacha.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vg-desc__p\" style=\"margin:0 0 1.15rem;\"\u003eHe currently sells 50% of production in Spain and exports the rest.
