Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
An attractive cherry red with a high robe. The nose is powerful, straightforward, and pleasant, featuring well-integrated nuances of black plum, berries, cedar, charred wood, and low shrub notes. Each time the glass is swirled, a new aroma reminiscent of dried hay emerges. On the palate, you can feel complexity and elegance. It is flavorful, fresh, and broad without being heavy. The aftertaste is very refined, leaving a long finish. It has excellent acidity, allowing for extended bottle aging.

Pairing

Production

Reserva Especial is the first wine we started making from the 2004 vintage. It represents the Maison's style, which is always in pursuit of elegance and harmony. This luscious wine is produced in limited quantities and is only produced in special vintages. Exceptional. Therefore, it is not bottled every year, and this 2014 vintage is made after it was decided not to make it in other vintages. After hand-harvesting (we decided not to make it for the 2012 and 2013 vintages), the different varieties and plots are vinified separately and aged separately in barrels. The final blend was determined with a constant focus on enhancing the fruitiness while considering the balance with toasty notes. This wine is the most international blend, featuring Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are suitable French varieties for this land. At the same time, it represents the terroir of the region. By blending in Tempranillo, it adds further complexity, providing true depth and authentic characteristics of Navarra.

About the Winery

Bodegas Pago de Larrainzar

Bodegas Pago de Larrainzar

One hundred and fifty years ago, the Larrainzar family acquired an extraordinary estate in Ayegui which is adjacent to the Irache Monastery, at the foot of the Montejurra Mountain and on the famous St. James’ Way (Camino Santiago).  It was in this estate that Luis Larrainzar, the great-grandfather of the founder of the Pago de Larrainzar Winery, established a vineyard of Tempranillo grapes and a small winery with limited production that was awarded a gold medal in the wine competition held in connection with the 1929 World Exposition in Barcelona.
