Great quality Cabernet and Graciano blend from Navarra's most beautiful estate
Production
Bodega de Sarria is located in the heart of Valdizarbe, covering a total area of 210 hectares. The vineyards are south facing and their altitude ranges from 394 to 539 metres above sea level. Average rainfall is 400 to 600 I/m2 per year. Sarria's Reserva is made from hand-harvested Cabernet Sauvignon and Graciano grapes selected from the best plots and carried in small baskets to ensure the fruit reaches the winery in perfect condition. These selected plots surround the winery and the grapes are harvested at the exact stage of ripeness. Grapes are pressed by pneumatic press and the two varietals are fermented separately at a controlled temperature of 28 degrees C. Fermentation is traditional with periodic remontage. The two varietals are brought together and blended after malo-lactic fermentation. Maturation is in Americian and French oak for 2 years (80% new) with an additional year in bottle before release.

Tasting notes
Blackcurrant aromas are backed by leafy, herbal notes. There are more cassis characters on the palate, along with peppercorn and meaty, savoury flavours. Fine tannins are balanced by vibrant acidity. A complex and characterful red with a long finish.
Food match
Great with grilled red meat and game.

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.
