Azpilicueta Selección de Barricas is crafted with a limited edition of 167 French oak barrels that enhance the elegance of the Tempranillo grape, transforming it into an intense and elegant wine.
The selection of wood for these barrels is a key oenological decision.
Azpilicueta Selección de Barricas has been aged in French oak barrels whose wood was directly sourced from the forests of Halatte, Vacheresse, and Jupille.
The French oak chosen by the oenology team has been carefully worked by master coopers, respecting the unique character of the wood to achieve a harmonious relationship with the personality of the wine.
Azpilicueta Selección de Barricas is aged for at least 18 months in French oak barrels and for a minimum of 6 months in bottle.
