Økologisk arbejde i vinmarken. Håndplukket, afstilket, spontangæret i stål, modnet i tonneau. Dyb rød farve. Aromaer af røde og mørke frugter, ekstremt fin skovfrugt, balsamico-noter, jord og vanilje. Kalksten og citrus tilføjer mineralitet og friskhed, dybt krydderi med enebær. Kraftig i munden, finkornede fløjlsagtige tanniner med mineralsk greb og en hel del styrke, velafbalanceret med intens, men legende frugt og subtile eukalyptustoner. Pikant! Sandsynligvis den bedste vin fra Navarra, puristisk, frugtagtig, mineralsk med en fløjlsagtig burgundisk finish.

Den spektakulære årgang 2023 betragtes i Spanien som en milepæl inden for elegance. Vinen er betydeligt mere afbalanceret end 2022 og fremstår som en moden, ualmindelig harmonisk version af 2020. Den charmerer med en stenet reduktion, en betagende renhed og en præcis symmetri af absolut verdensklasse.

Parker om: Santa Cruz de Artazu Garnacha

The village red from Artazu is the 2023 Santa Cruz de Artazu was produced with grapes from small plots of old head-pruned and dry-farmed vines on silt and limestone soils that provide finesse. It has notes of red fruit and flowers, aromatic herbs and perfectly integrated oak after it matured in well-seasoned 600-liter barrels for eight months. It's harmonious, elegant and fine-boned, with elegant tannins and great balance. It's approachable now because of its harmonious profile but has the stuffing and balance between its components to age nicely in bottle. 6,909 bottles and 51 magnums were filled in December 2024.

Tim Atkin om: Santa Cruz de Artazu Garnacha

Yet another very elegant and fine interpretation of this 100 year old vineyard. The winespends 12 months in oak which is already very well integrated, bringing just a hint of fine-grained oak tannin and balsamic freshness. The wine is perfumed and floral with a silkysmooth texture while red berry fruit combines on the palate with herbal notes reflecting thevineyard’s surrounds. It is an accomplished wine with a pure Navarran character.

Suckling om: Santa Cruz de Artazu Garnacha

This has sweet, crunchy red fruit and red licorice aromas that are exuberant and fruit-forward. The palate is tightly knit, medium- to full-bodied, with focused tannins and a savory, red-fruited core. It finishes with pleasant, restrained austerity and delineated fruit. Drink now.
