About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of GrenachePairs well with Cured MeatsAurkitu means to "find" or to "discover" in the Basque language and when the producers came upon the remote, beautiful vineyards of the Baja Montaña, they certainly felt like they had stumbled upon one of the great treasures of Spain. The fruit is sourced from old vineyards around the villages of Leache and Aibar in the very Eastern reaches of Navarra, close to the border with Aragon. The grapes possess a freshness and vitality that is absolutely delicious with the resulting wine intense and bright, with hints of spice and beautiful texture.

Medium to deep ruby-red colour with a purple-tinted rim. Dark berries and dry herb aromatics. A medium-bodied red, with good fruit concentration and well-layered savoury, iodine and woody herb complexities. Good length and a drying tannin profile finish it well. Great value

It’s gorgeously ripe and beautifully lifted, showing blackcurrant, sweet cherry, smoked game and roasted not characters on the nose, leading to a flavoursome palate delivering lovely concentration and fleshy texture. Delectably persistent and lingering.
