A pair of exquisite wines, one white and one red, from Rioja, with unique flavours. An unforgettable barrel-fermented white wine from one of Spain’s most famous producers, and the flagship Rioja from one of our favourite producers, Bodegas Navajas.

Muga Barrel-Fermented Rioja Blanco
One of the rare barrel-fermented Rioja whites from this most respected and traditional producer. Huge character and concentration yet with an underlying finesse. Very much for the connoisseur.
Pale straw coloured wine with complex bouquet of toasted vanilla pods and tropical fruits. Dry with a fresh acidity and a rich voluptuous weight of mature fruit – almost creamy in texture with a long lingering finish. Classic Rioja with subtle breeding.

Navajas Gran Reserva 2014
Gran Reservas are only made in exceptional years and are aged for a minimum of 2 years in barrels and a further 2 years in the bottle. Dark cherry red with tawny and brick tones is an indication of it`s time spent in American oak casks, where it achieves its complexity of flavours. This reserva has a powerfully aroma of red fruits with toasted spice and a delicately balsamic bouquet. On the palate the wine possesses well integrated flavours of vanilla oak and red fruits, giving a long persistent finish. A wonderful Rioja.
