Rounded and velvety this deep cherry red wine has aromas of vanilla and forest fruits. The integrated tannins and oak lead to a complex long finish.

Navarra
Navarra is the much underated cousin to Rioja. Neighbouring to the northeast of Rioja the region has 5 districts (Baja Montana, Ribera Alta, Ribera Baja, Tierra Estella and Valdizarbe). The region is dominated by the Garnache grape variety for red wine production. A small amount of white wine is produced from the Viura (also known as Macabeo) grape variety. International grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay have been encouraged in recent years.

"I am not sure how they do it at this price because this youthful Spanish red really manages to capture the lovely juicy softness of the Merlot grape with a touch of spice and impressive concentration of flavour for the price" R. Ehrlich The Independent
