Bodegas Navajas Rioja Blanco Crianza 2007 La Rioja
Producer: Bodegas Navajas
Tasting Notes:
This wine has a wonderful combination of maturity in the fruit flavours and a great freshness. Thus it manages to combine maturity and freshness a neat trick and a very rewarding experience. It is straw coloured with richer tones than the sin crianza and has hints of rich apple and coconut on the nose. The palate has an applepear and vanilla character enhanced by the soft oak ageing and balanced by a very good palate refreshing acidity
Grape Variety: 100% Viura
ABV: 12.5%
Country/Region: Spain
Vintage: 2007
Founded in 1918 and first brought to our attention by Hubrecht Duijker in the early 1980s - when he commented that the reds all had 'good deep colour, a beautiful vanilla perfume and a quite substantial taste with a gratifying measure of fruit, freshness, wood and tannin... this modest family concern has as yet done little exporting...' - Bodegas Navajas has come a long way since; built themselves a new winery - its cellars already extended to accommodate the ever amassing aromatic white Virginia oak barrels made by local family coopers Murúa - and a whole new office complex. The volume of production, though, remains more or less as ever; and Antonio continues to vinify approximately a million kilos - his wines now in a myriad of export markets including the UK (Harrods was his first customer!), Belgium, France, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and more recently the US, Canada, and the Czech Republic ; though his offerings are rarely seen in Spain: an ardent Barça fan, this was Antonio's best domestic customer for some years though currently it is the Spanish Navy!
