Description:
This oak-aged Reserva gives the authentic taste of premium Rioja for such a great price. Navajas is a small family-run bodega near the village of Navarrete, in the heart of Rioja D.O.C., founded in 1918 and today run by Antonio Navajas and his wife.
The Reserva is 95% Tempranillo & 5% Mazuelo from the oldest vineyards of the Navajas Estate in La Rioja Alta, hand picked at the beginning of October. This is a firm favourite with many of our customers and it's not hard to understand why!
Ruby red and with medium depth.
Ruby red and with medium depth.
After its barrel and bottle ageing, the wine reaches the desired balance and a fine bouquet, where both ripe fruit, and spicy and herbal aromas can be appreciated. It is fleshy and broad on the palate, with a very expressive and elegant finish and a long, serene aftertaste.
Ageing:
American oak casks for a minimum of 20 months. After bottling the wine spends a further 4 years in bottle before release.
Tasting Note:
Brick red in appearance, the nose has a heady mix of fruit, vanilla and warming spice. The palate is rich and broad with fine fruit, integrated oak, soft tannins and spicy flavours. The finish is very long and absolutely exceptional.
