The elegance of Laguardia’s old vines, UKAN is the winery’s icon. The result of a meticulous vineyard selection that discovered three old Tempranillo vineyards in Laguardia. Each plot is elaborated separately to enhance their uniqueness, and then blended into a single elegant and well-structured wine. UKAN is a complex, full-bodied and very drinkable wine with a lot of ageing potential.

In 2020, a winter warmer than usual with high temperatures and a rainy early spring boosted the vegetative growth in the vineyard. The summer began moderately cold and wet, but then passed with normal temperatures and rainfall for the summer season. A further drop in the thermometer in September resulted in a long ripening period, which, after the harvest, resulted in balanced musts with great aromatic intensity and freshness.

The grapes were hand-harvested into 15kg small bins, the bunches were received at the sorting table for a rigorous selection. For maceration, the grapes were 100% destemmed. Fermentation took place in 20HL French oak open-top vats prior to moving the wine to 100% new French oak barrels for 16 months of aging.
