CHARACTERISTICS OF BENJAMÍN ROMEO COLLECTION Nº4 LA DEHESA 2017 PREPARATION: The La Dehesa Collection Nº4 wine uses grapes collected from the La Dehesa de Pangua farm as raw material. This plot, located between the lands of the Rioja towns of San Vicente de La Sonsierra and Briones, has vines that are more than 100 years old (some of them foot-loam) planted on poor sandstone soils, at more than 700 meters of altitude. Its harvest is done by hand at the beginning of October and its winemaking follows a completely traditional process. The grapes are destemmed in the winery and fermented in oak wood tanks.
