Ahari refers to a red elf from Basque mythology, who goes out in the night to scare people at their homes, just for fun. The drawing on the front label is an ode to Pablo Picasso’s painting depicting Guernica. And the back label cites Pablo Picasso: “All you can imagine is real.”

Fermentation takes place in foudre and concrete egg, using indigenous yeasts. The wine ages for approximately 13 months in foudre.
Ahari is characterized by its juicy freshness and finely-balanced tannins with some grip. Flavours of blueberry and black cherry, herbal with notes of thyme and floral notes of violet. The perfect expression of the Rioja Alavesa profile.
