Bodegas Navajas Rioja Tinto 2010 La Rioja
Producer: Bodegas Navajas
Tasting Notes:
With a brilliant ruby color and a hint of purple this young fruity wine explodes with luscious cherries and raspberries tempered by soft tannins from the small percentage of Mazuelo grapes in the blend. Due to its softness and complexity this young red goes perfectly well with a wide variety of dishes: pate salads vegetables cold or warm turkey and ham fish soups as well as red and white meats.
Grape Variety: Tempranillo 80% Garnacha 15% Mazuelo 5%
ABV: 13%
Country/Region: Spain
Vintage: 2010
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!
