    Bodega Senorio de Otazu, Spain
    Bodega Senorio de Otazu Winery Video

    Bodega Otazu is located next to Pamplona, only 60 km from the Cantabrian Sea and 35 km from the Pyrenees, Bodega Otazu lies nestled in a small valley crossed by the river Arga and surrounded by the sierra del Perdón and sierra del Sarbil. It is the northernmost red wine producing winery in Spain. The winemaking tradition of Otazu dates back to the 12th Century when, due to its proximity to the Arga River, these lands were part of the Camino de Santiago de Compostella, which is why the Señorío de Otazu (Feudal Estate) was established here with its vineyard. Later, in 1840, the winery was built, the first French-style one in Navarra located outside the urban area and as a single-estate vineyard. This building, which is currently preserved, has been rehabilitated and turned into a wine museum and art gallery, and has been extended with the latest winemaking, aging and bottling technologies. Architectonically speaking, its spectacular underground barrels room stands out, being internationally known as the “Wine Cathedral”.

    The philosophy of Bodega Otazu is to produce premium wines expressing the essence of the terroir they are coming from. Therefore, the entire wine range is exclusively produced with the grape varieties grown in this single-estate vineyard of 116 hectares: Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Berués. Bodega Otazu is one of the 17 Spanish wineries which were given the highest certification and recognition in Spain – Pago Appellation of Origin – guaranteeing the selection as well as the unique and outstanding personality of each of its wine.

    Otazu wines are marked by an exceptional microclimate with Atlantic influences, leading to wines with intense colors, aromatic and very fresh on the mouth. These are wines with unique personality due to the excellent acidity of its grapes, allowing the alcohol to integrate perfectly and also favor a long aging. Bodega Otazu is a 116 hectares single-estate vineyard, formed by a rich diversity of soils. Due to the decomposition of the marls on the one part and the alluvial soils on the other, up to 17 different types of soils have been identified. All this constitutes an ideal place for the cultivation of the vine, where the selection of the best grapes leads to wines with a marked personality, and different from one another.

    With hundreds of red grape varieties to choose from, winemakers have the freedom to create a virtually endless assortment of blended red wines. In many European regions, strict laws are in place determining the set of varieties that may be used, but in the New World, experimentation is permitted and encouraged resulting in a wide variety of red wine styles. Blending can be utilized to enhance balance or create complexity, lending different layers of flavors and aromas. For example, a red wine blend variety that creates a fruity and full-bodied wine would do well combined with one that is naturally high in acidity and tannins. Sometimes small amounts of a particular variety are added to boost color or aromatics. Blending can take place before or after fermentation, with the latter, more popular option giving more control to the winemaker over the final qualities of the wine.

    How to Serve Red Wine

    A common piece of advice is to serve red wine at “room temperature,” but this suggestion is imprecise. After all, room temperature in January is likely to be quite different than in August, even considering the possible effect of central heating and air conditioning systems. The proper temperature to aim for is 55° F to 60° F for lighter-bodied reds and 60° F to 65° F for fuller-bodied wines.

    How Long Does Red Wine Last?

    Once opened and re-corked, a bottle stored in a cool, dark environment (like your fridge) will stay fresh and nicely drinkable for a day or two. There are products available that can extend that period by a couple of days. As for unopened bottles, optimal storage means keeping them on their sides in a moderately humid environment at about 57° F. Red wines stored in this manner will stay good – and possibly improve – for anywhere from one year to multiple decades. Assessing how long to hold on to a bottle is a complicated science. If you are planning long-term storage of your reds, seek the advice of a wine professional.

    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.
