Navajas Rioja Reserva Tinto is a beautifully crafted expression of classic Rioja, produced from estate and grower vineyards surrounding Navarrete in Rioja Alta and Rioja Oriental. The region’s mix of limestone and clay soils, combined with its temperate climate, provides ideal conditions for Tempranillo to thrive, yielding elegant, balanced wines with great depth and ageing potential.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its hallmark smoothness, remarkable depth, and traditional Riojan complexity. Crafted by a third-generation family winery with over a century of heritage, it undergoes patient aging for two years in oak followed by extended bottle resting. It delivers a rich, rounded palate where vibrant fruit harmoniously meets sweet vanilla, oak spice, and fine-grained tannins.

Vineyard & Production

Produced by Bodegas Navajas, established in 1918 in the heart of Rioja Alta, the grapes are carefully selected from clay and limestone vineyards. Made predominantly from Tempranillo alongside small portions of Graciano and Mazuelo, the fruit undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 24 months in American and French oak barrels before further bottle maturation to achieve ideal balance.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red with garnet reflections in the glass, the nose offers inviting aromas of ripe red fruits, vanilla, spice, and a hint of tobacco. The palate is smooth and rounded, featuring layers of cherry, plum, and subtle oak complexity. Fine tannins and well-integrated acidity lead to a long, elegant finish.

Perfect Pairings

With its full-bodied structure and mature oak profile, this Rioja Reserva is a fantastic partner for rich, savoury dishes. It pairs magnificently with traditional roast lamb, grilled red meats, and slow-cooked stews. It is also an excellent companion to mature cheeses like aged Manchego.
