Condalo de Almara Crianza 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 Crianza is the top expression in the Condalo de Almara range — an equal blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in oak to develop complexity and structure.

About This Wine

A well-structured Crianza blending the fruit-forward character of Navarra Tempranillo with the depth and backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon. Oak ageing adds polish and complexity, resulting in a wine with real presence and a long, expressive finish.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep cherry red
Nose: Blackberries, blackcurrant, and leather with notes of black pepper and a hint of menthol
Palate: Well-structured and meaty with powerful fruitiness, fresh acidity, and well-polished sweet tannins
Finish: Long and expressive with a very pleasant aftertaste

Food Pairing

An excellent match for pork, red meats, and lamb chops. The structure and dark fruit also pair well with aged cheeses and hearty stews.
