Viña Nava Tempranillo 2021

We think this is one of our best-value reds. A gorgeously silky, fruity red from Navarra – part of Spain that has no shortage of innovative and dynamic winemakers. Furthermore, as this delicious Tempranillo shows, “There is a willingness to challenge even the mighty Rioja for quality red wines” (Hugh Johnson). Our Buyer Sarah was certainly smitten with this bright, approachable Tempranillo. Winemaker Gonzalo Zelayeta has applied modern winemaking techniques to bring out the grape’s silky fruit, while the vintage allowed the grapes plenty of time to develop terrific colour and flavour. Fresh with notes of strawberries and plums, this most supple of reds is perfect on its own or alongside tapas, chicken or savoury stuffed peppers.
