This was in the day when the wine trade between Rioja and France passed along the Tudela-Bilbao line, and the key Rioja wineries were located around the station of Haro. The winery sits just 100m from the station to this day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced from grapes cultivated in the highest parts of the Ebro valley. Predominantly Garnacha (65%) from Alto Nejerilla, in the area between the towns of Badarán, Cordovin and Cárdenas where the vines grow in red ferrous clay soils; and Tempranillo (35%) from Samaniego, and the white limestone soils of Sierra Cantabria. Hand-harvested into 20kg crates with a selection of bunches at the winery. Garnacha and Tempranillo are destemmed and vinified separately. They undergo cold fermentation with native yeasts, and a short maceration. Then the two wines are assembled and refined in concrete for around 5 months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGómez Cruzado Rioja Predilecto\u003c\/strong\u003e wine is bright and aromatic with cherry and berry characters and a hint of liquorice.
