Amatria is born in 2020 as a family project managed by Josu Amatria, oenologist by profession, and Raquel Elizalde, a lawyer. Together, they firmly believed in the quality of this winegrowing region with a main focus in the Garnacha grape which adapts really well to the terroir. Josu’s experience comes after spending several years in wine regions in Chile, California and Spain. In 2020 Josu found small vineyards in his father’s natal town of Ayegui that go back a century ago and the project began to take form.
This is a blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo, sourced from vineyards located within the region, (Basakaitz, Santa Marina, Ermina and Artegain) ranging from 102, 84 and 26 years. The grapes are vinified separately in different vessels. The wine is aged in 500-liter barrels for 12 months and then stabilized for 4 months in stainless steel tanks and without additives.
This result is a wine with a bright purple color, very expressive on the nose with notes of black fruits, black pepper and clove. The acidity is fresh and pronounced making it suitable for its velvet tannins and a moderate alcohol sensation that makes it very smooth and elegant on the palate.
Great for pairing with chorizo, jamón Ibérico, croquetas, bean & meat stew (fabada) and Manchego, Gouda and Cheddar cheeses.
Region: Navarra, Spain
Grape: 80% Garnacha, 20% Tempranillo
