Arzuaga 37.5 cl. Red wine

Arzuaga Crianza is the flagship wine of Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro, crafted from a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes grown in the estate's oldest vineyards. Located at an altitude of 911 meters in clay-limestone soils, where the limestone bedrock lies just a meter below the surface, this wine reflects the unique terroir of the region. It undergoes aging for 16 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, resulting in a wine that is refined, delicate, and elegant.

The wine boasts an intense dark cherry red color with garnet edges and subtle violet reflections. It is clean, bright, and exhibits a good, dense tear. On the nose, Arzuaga Crianza reveals powerful aromas of ripe black fruit, which is both expressive and fleshy. This fruit character is beautifully interwoven with intense spicy notes, including abundant hints of vanilla and cinnamon, along with exotic spices such as cloves and pepper. Additional aromas of toasted oak, chocolate, and licorice create an overall aromatic profile that is both intense and elegant.

In the mouth, this wine delivers a rich and robust experience. It has an intense and ample entry, with a silky, juicy, and fresh passage that showcases a remarkable balance. While the fruit remains the star of the show, the toasted notes from the oak become more prominent compared to the nose. Arzuaga Crianza is well-structured, with excellent acidity and luscious tannins that contribute to a very pleasant finish with a delightful lingering aftertaste.

This crianza wine is easy to drink, highly enjoyable, and invites further tasting. It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including cured meats, roasted lamb, grilled red meats, stews, civet, roasted dishes, and small game. Experience the elegance of Arzuaga Crianza and enhance your meals with this remarkable wine.
