Balcón de Pilatos is one of our most iconic vineyards and is a prime site for growing a very distinctive, violet-scented Maturana, a grape variety that was lost in Rioja due to phylloxera during 1920-30. This exclusive and minority grape was rediscovered in 35 strains found in a vineyard over 100 years old. Lively and rich cherry color. It is complex and powerful with notes of ripe black fruit and spices such as cocoa and vanilla as well as aromas of almond and cedar blossom. Smooth, savory, and chocolatey with fine tannins and a subtle cassis finish.
