Condalo de Almara Reserva 2020

Bodegas Macaya is a family producer based in Larraga in the Ribera Alta region of Navarra. The family had been growing vines on their lands for generations before purchasing and renovating the old village winery in 1999, blending new technology with traditional winemaking methods. The Reserva is the flagship of the Condalo de Almara range — a blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon with extended oak and bottle ageing, producing a wine of real depth, complexity, and longevity.

About This Wine

A serious Reserva from Navarra with the structure and concentration to reward patience. The blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon brings together the fruit-forward character of the region with the depth and backbone of an international variety, unified by careful oak ageing into a wine of genuine elegance.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Dark, deep ruby
Nose: Strong and complex — mature black fruit, cassis, and a hint of cedar and leather
Palate: Well-structured with powerful fruitiness, a hint of tannin adding grip, and excellent depth
Finish: Long and persistent with a lasting cassis aftertaste

Food Pairing

An excellent match for pork, red meats, and slow-roasted lamb. The structure and dark fruit also pair well with aged cheeses and game.
