The Wine The Wine
Spain
Region:Navarra
Sat around the large tasting table in Finca Manzanos HQ, winemaker Borja explained how his passion project at the moment is Navarra. Often overshadowed by its neighbour - Rioja - this region actually has amazing potential for high quality wine. So he did his homework and found the best plots, and offered to pay growers more for producing top end grapes. This upset other producers in the region who were offering much less for the grapes, but Borja wanted to give credit where credit was due: a fair price for something truly special. This wine is the result of his quest - the perfect grapes crafted into wine by Borja's talented hands. He pushed a glass of this under our noses and we were suitably impressed. An oak aged Spanish gem that we agreed to list straight away!

Borja Ripa
The Manzanos Family Estate is wholeheartedly devoted to the production of top-class wine. Heir of the winemaking tradition, our wineries are the fruit of the work, effort and experience of six generations of winemakers from the Fernández de Manzanos family. We work with such a level of care and passion, encompassing new trends and consumer taste and, at the same time, retaining tradition to produce high-quality wines with abundant personality and style. Sustainability and integration is our philosophy.
"I found the very best grapes in Navarra and I aged them for 18 months in French & American oak barrels. This has resulted in a wine with complex layers of toasty oak, figs, plum and bramble fruit, sweet vanilla, coffee & leather notes that leap out the glass. On the palate, delightfully mouth coating tannins and oaky spice create texture and fullness - which culminates in a very long finish, the hallmark of a great wine." - Borja Ripa, Winemaker.
