Le Naturel
$22.06
Located in the Yeri valley in the heart of the Tierra Estella, Aroa Bodegas is an organic/biodynamic winery that works with vineyards situated in the highest parts of the Navarra DO. The winery is part of the Vintae wine company, which is helmed by brothers Ricardo and José Miguel Arambarri. Beginning with their small family winery in Rioja, the brothers have expanded to 12 wine ranges made at 3 different wineries. They partner with over 40 different growers to obtain to best possible grapes.
Le Naturel tinto is made from 95% Grenache and 5% Merlot, from vines that have never been treated with synthetic chemical products. The vineyard, planted on organically farmed calcareous clay soils, sits close to the Urbasa and Andía mountains. The fruit is manually harvested typically in the middle of October. At the winery the grapes are hand sorted, and then undergo a short maceration of only 5 days with minimal intervention. Glowing cerise in color, one could confuse it for Beaujolais. On the nose you pick up youthful aromas of licorice and fresh cut violets. The palate is light and refreshing with flavours of cherry and cardamom. With such short time spent on skins, the body has very delicate tannins and structure.
