Production
Bodega de Sarria is located in the heart of Valdizarbe, covering a total area of 210 hectares. Average rainfall is 400 to 600 I/m2 per year. The grapes for Sarria's Crianza come from Sarria's own vineyards as well as from other vineyards whose viticulture is controlled and monitored by Sarria. The Tempranillo and Cabernet grapes are vinified independently at a controlled temperature of 28 degrees C. After malolactic fermentation the wine is decanted and put in cask. While the wine is being aged for around on year in American oak it is racked twice. It is then bottled and kept for several additional months in the winery before being released.

Meet the producer
Bodega de Sarría lies on a large and beautiful estate in Valdizarbe, in the hills above Puente la Reina, near Pamplona. Situated amongst 1,000 hectares of forest, the 210 ha of vineyard consists mainly of south-facing slopes at 400-500m altitude, planted primarily with Tempranillo, Graciano (the most extensive plantings of the variety in Spain), Garnacha, Cabernet, Merlot, Mazuelo and Chardonnay.
Founded in 1953, Sarria was one of the pioneers of quality winemaking in Navarra. Some vineyard areas date back to then, and even their youngest vines are now over 20 years old. The range excels in all areas - including the complex and spicy Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva.
