A typical Navarra wine, in that it benefits from both the warm Mediterranean and cooler Atlantic influences. This is an uncomplicated but interesting blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. After six months aging in French oak barrels, the softness of the Merlot grape prevails, but the mature, subtle black fruit aromas of the Cabernet Sauvignon remain. On the nose, look out for delicate aromas of blackberries and blueberries, with an interesting spicy and smoky edge. A good long finish, with round, not too ripe tannins makes this a perfect match for pork, lamb and turkey.
A fine young wine with lots of character, aromas of very ripe red fruits, altogether delightfully jammy and tasty. And gosh, what value. A blend of 70% Grenache with Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot aged four months in American and French oak, this wine has a nice cherry red colour and a taste that is full of mature red and black berries with a soft oaky edge. Much, much more than anyone could reasonably expect for the price!
Made with the local Mencia grape - Spain's up and coming cult grape - and then allowed to develop over six months in oak barrels, this is a wine with character, taste, full body and great aftertaste. A rounded wine with lots of personality and strong aromas that convey red fruits with a touch of cinnamon. A classic Mencia, it's as easy to afford as it is to drink. Very enjoyable!
