Barrel fermented 18 months

Wine elaborated with 2 different white grape varieties grown from bush and trellis vines/plots of between 20 and 35 years old at 450 mts. height above sea level. Argillaceous soil is the most common in the area, surrounded by mountain ranges suffering high thermic contrasts between day and night, summer and winter, which at the end is the blend from Mediterranean and Continental climates. Grape varieties are separately going through pellicular maceration and alcoholic fermentation at low and controlled temperature. Before being bottled, the wine stays on its lees around 5 months in steel tanks.
Intense and complex aromas. Elegant-fresh and crisp entry, balanced, and expressive palate, well structured, nice acidity intermingled with warm and velvety sensations (features coming from the lees aging time). Aromatically reminding to ripe white fruits, herbs and light balsamic.

Viña Olabarri Oak Aged is a young wine, fresh, fruity and floral at the nose, with high quality and light hints of
wood, which provide it with a good structure and acidity.

Bikandi Ecologico Crianza is an organic Tempranillo wine from Rioja. The vines grow in a cool high-altitude area in calcareous alluvial soil. The vineyards are strictly kept under ecological agricultural methods in a natural environment without any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Bikandi grapes are hand harvested during the first weeks of October. After fermentation, Viña Olabarri’s winemaker- Fernando Salgado, aged the wine for more than 14 months in 225 litre French oak barrels. This ensures a fruit-forward wine that is elegant, fresh, spicy and nuanced which integrates the oak character perfectly with the dark cherry fruit, vanilla and chocolate that shows on tasting. It is ideal with tapas or any grilled dish.

I designed this wine when my father passed away. The pain was so strong that I had to quench this feeling of my heart. An artist paints a picture, I make wines. I woke up one day with a feeling of peace, singing this well-known song by Spanish rock singer. The cure was tolerance. People live their lives as best they can. I had to accept the way my father choosed to live and die, and also I had to accept the way I had chosen to live, without censoring myself.
I thought this feeling it was like a fight between two grapes, Bobal and Syrah. The acidity and tannin of the Bobal versus the smoothness and power of the Syrah. And the result is an elegant and complex wine with a lot to discover in its sequential steps.
This wine has been identified as one of the best Bobal wine of the world by the experts. (Jancis Robinson).
