Irache Reserva

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.

70% Tempranillo, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot. Following manual selection, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, and the must is cold pre-macerated at 7ºC for five days in a cooling chamber. The malolactic fermentation was carried out in concrete tanks at controlled temperature.
