Winemaker Notes
Built between 1940 and 1960, and partly underground, the Azul y Garanza bodega consists of small concrete tanks with capacities between 4,000 and 20,000 liters, giving a total capacity of 200,000 liters.
The result is an ideal separation, during production, of the grapes according to different soils and grapes varietals. This is a fundamental ingredient in the quality of the bodega's wines.
It is in this way that Azul y Garanza wines are able to express the terroir in a natural manner. To obtain this they use indigenous natural yeast of the grape during the fermentation. Also, the bottling of the wine occurs after a light clarification and without filter. In addition, the quality and origin of the oak is studied carefully.
One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.
Just north of Spain’s famous Rioja region, Navarra excels in the production of full and fruit-dominant reds and good quality, dry rosés. Garnacha holds most of the land under vine, with Tempranillo coming in second place.
