Las Fincas 2022

Tasting: From the north of the Navarra region, the first wine in the Las Fincas series, a collaboration with renowned Basque chef Juan Mari Arzak. A wonderfully delicate and silky rosado.

Las Fincas Fermentado en Barrica 2020

Tasting: The third in the series of Las Fincas wines in partnership with renowned Basque chef Juan Mari Arzak. This is a limited production, extremely premium rosado made from the very best Garnacha fruit from their Finca de Legardeta vineyard. Fermented in new French oak to build breadth and texture, aging in French oak on lees after fermentation also assists this. Elegant aromas of white fruit and pink blossom, and a palate of delicately scented raspberries, mountain herbs, smoke accented minerals, with a delicious strawberries and cream texture.

Gran Feudo Rosado 2019

Tasting: The traditional stye of rosado in Spain, and specifically Navarra has always been full bodied and fruit driven, and this doesn’t necessarily mean that wine is sweeter just because it is darker, generally it will have more body, texture and fruit because the deeper colour has come from longer contact with the grape skins, and this is a prime example of this traditional style. Condensed red fruit, strawberry, red apple and a dash of mountain herbs.
