Bakan Mazuelo
Mazuela was a great, unique variety; and a majority planting in Navarra. But it disappeared almost 100%. Bakan is one expression of the few historical plots of this ancient variety. 2023 was a challenging vintage because of harvest time. Before harvest, the vintage was going well: In spring we got different rainy days, in summer there were not long heat waves but then, harvest was difficult. We started with a heat wave and then many different rainy days so, It was a year to think and make important decisions. Despite these difficulties, we are optimistic and the wines behave very well. Fermentation in 1000-L open tank, 20% whole bunches. 12 months ageing in 500-L french oak barrels, one year used. Clear, medium intensity, ruby colour wine. Clean, high intensity fresh aromas of black fruit such us blackberry, blackcurrant, also black pepper, cedar and earthy notes. Dry and fresh, soft tannins and medium body. Black fruit flavours, mineral hints and a long finish.
