Aurkitu Garnacha Vinas Viejas 2020

Winemaking

Hand-picked and vinified using selected wild ferment and whole bunch parcels, the musts are handled gently to avoid over-extraction and retain fruit. Post primary fermentation, the wine is pressed to predominantly older oak in order to preserve the wild, energetic fruit profile that defines this region.

Tasting Note

Wonderfully intense, with bright red fruits, hints of spice and beautiful texture. There is a coolness to the fruit set against the irrepressible generosity of Grenache.

Food Match

Lamb or goat seem the most appropriate and the brisk, energetic style of the wine works well with the unctuous, sweet meat. Also char grilled veg and meat. Decanter Magazine Experts Choice Navarra 91 Points. A pretty yet intense interpretation of Garnacha from the Baja Montaña region of Navarra. Exuberant and lively with wild red berry fruit and red cherry on the nose. Lovely balance of acidity and ripe fruit on the palate with a touch of red pepper. Would be a great match with some chorizo or local chistorra. 91 Points.
