Product Notes

Bodegas Navajas Graciano Crianza is a bold and complex red wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Graciano grape variety. This wine is aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, allowing it to develop rich flavors of dark fruits, spice, and hints of vanilla. The deep ruby color of the wine is a testament to its concentrated flavors and aromas. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a smooth and velvety texture, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes such as grilled meats or aged cheeses. Bodegas Navajas Graciano Crianza is a true gem from the La Rioja region of Spain, perfect for wine enthusiasts looking for a standout option.

Tasting Notes

It has a rather dark cherry red colour with very light violet hints and a balanced aroma between the liveliness and fruitiness typical of the variety, red and black fruits, wild berries and the balsamic and spicy notes provided by the wood. It achieves a “maturity” and a phenolic and aromatic balance that can be appreciated in its harmony and roundness. In the mouth it is firm, vigorous, with soft tannins but well structured, fleshy, round, penetrating, with a powerful and at the same time soft longevity.

About the Winery

Bodegas Navajas

Located right in the heart of DOC Rioja in Spain, the Bodegas Navajas is a family winery that was established during 1918. The wines produced here are utmost class and elegance because a lot of attention goes in maintaining the quality of the vineyards and analysing the terroir and soil quality in each of the vineyards.

Currently, this family-owned winery owns 150 hectares of vineyards by getting into a deal with the small vine growers in the regions of Rioja Alta and Baja. You have to visit this winery to understand the modern facilities and state-of-the-art technological sophistication found here. During the year 2000, the family invested heavily in this winery to increase the storage capacity and winemaking potential of the label.

The winemaking process is a perfect blend of modern and traditional techniques. Only those grapes that have matured well are taken to the winery for processing to ensure that the wines that are crafted here reflect the true flavour and character of the soil where they are grown. 

The fruits are manually picked after harvest and they are carefully destemmed before they are sent for processing. Huge stainless steel vats that have temperature-control settings are used for fermenting these crushed grapes. The fermentation process is carried out in such a way that the wine absorbs the maximum possible flavours from its skin.

Oak barrels are used for ageing the wines after all the processes are over. Currently, the cellar is big enough to accommodate close to 10000 barrels and 200000 bottles. French, Romanian and American oak barrels are used by this label to age the wines for at least 12 months (especially the Crianza varieties) and about 3 years for the Reserva and Gran Reserva type of wines.
