Rioja Crianza, Bodegas Navajas

The highly regarded and dynamic Rioja producers Bodegas Navajas are based in Navarrete in Rioja Alta. 
Vineyards - 100% Tempranillo sourced between a mix of their own vineyards and long-term contract growers. 
Vinification - After a traditional fermentation and the malolactic fermentation, the wine is clarified and filtered to rest in oak, a mix of American and French barrels, where it will remain for a minimum of twelve months.  After this aging period, the wine is bottled and goes to the "bottle rack" for a minimum of 6 months.
Tasting Note - A balanced between the rich fruit and wood aged characters, harmonious and round. 

Food pairing - The ideal companion for sausage and cheese boards, red meats and game dishes.
