The pure Cabernet Franc 2013 CF de Altolandón, one of the few varietal examples bottled in Spain, had a faint herbal nose with balsamic and berry aromas. The palate felt quite austere with the variety's fine-grained tannins. It has high acidity that seems to need some more time in bottle to get better integrated. 10,000 bottles were filled in April 2016.

They use Cabernet Franc grapes to produce the 2012 CF de Altolandón to try to express the variety grown in cool climates. The grapes fermented in 6,000-liter vats, some made of stainless steel, some made of oak, with indigenous yeasts; they were then transferred to used 300-liter barriques for malolactic fermentation. Half of the volume was kept in barrique for one year, while the other half was put into clay amphorae. It had a balsamic nose with some developed aromas, still quite marked by the élevage. The palate shows some rusticity, possibly tannins from the barrels that give it a profile of classical end-of-the-1990s style. This is ready to drink. 10,000 bottles were filled in April 2015.
