Irache 1891 Crianza

01/06

Vintage

In the Lower Ribera de Navarra, we had an interesting climatic year. The summer was dry and hot, characteristic of this area, with large temperature differences between day and night. In September, some rainfall allowed the end of the cycle to be reached with the vegetation perfectly active and good health of the fruit. The harvest ended the third week of October with perfectly ripe grapes and great potential. Overall, we can speak of very powerful grapes, good colour potential, aroma and structure. We are proud of the results, which promise wines of magnificent quality.
