Bodegas Agronavarra
Founded in 1983 under the name Brana Vieja, the company has operated under its new name Bodegas Agronavarra since 2013. Great value wines are now made under the direction of winemaker Pablo Pavez. The wines of the series "Pleno" have become very popular due to their strength and popularity.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of raspberry, mulberry and mulled spices, with a palate which is soft and well rounded and is smooth on the finish. A great choice for when you want to please everyone ( and don't want to break the bank! )
Food Matches
Simple Tapas dishes including olives, Manchego cheese and sundried tomatoes.
Vinification
Navarra borders the prime areas of Rioja in northern Spain and this fruity and open red is similar to a Joven Rioja. The vineyards lie on high rolling plains of eroded clay, limestone and marl, with beds of pebbles that aid drainage. The grapes are machine picked, with little bruising and minimal oxidation before de-stemming and cooling prior to warm fermenting in large steel tanks. Pumping over is twice a day to give even extraction of colour and fruit as well as balanced and soft tannins. No oak is used, to preserve the naturally bright and vibrant red fruits and soft spicy character of the Tempranillo.
