VARIETIES

100% Garnacha. An indigenous variety, Garnacha was once the most widely planted grape across Spain at the beginning of the 20th century. It arrived in Navarra from Aragón, where it had already adapted and thrived, becoming the dominant variety in the region by the 1970s. However, over time, it was undervalued and gradually lost ground to international varieties, eventually fading into the background.

From the very beginning, our mission has been to revive and champion Garnacha on our estate. In 2009, we grafted the entire El Castillazo vineyard (7 hectares), and in 2019, we planted an additional 10 hectares in the southernmost area of the estate. Our goal is for Garnacha to become the most extensively planted red variety in our vineyards, cultivated entirely under organic farming practices.

WINEMAKING

After a brief cold maceration (between 6–8 hours) and a gentle crushing, the must is transferred to stainless steel tanks where it ferments and macerates in contact with the skins at a controlled maximum temperature of 28 °C. During this 20-day period, it undergoes gentle pump-overs to extract color, aroma, and structure.

AGEING

Part of the wines obtained will remain in contact with the lees in the vat for 6 months preserving the varietal aromas and afford them greater smoothness in mouth whereas the other part of the wines are aged in French and American oak barrels for 6 months in order to gain in complexity and elegance.

TASTING NOTE

Bright red colour with slightly purple hues. Fresh and intense aromas of red fruit, with spicy and mineral notes.It is fresh and well-balanced on the palate showing a silky structure and a persistent after taste.
Ideal as an aperitif and to pair with all kinds of Mediterranean dishes..
