Alzania, 21 Del 10, D.O. Navarra, red wine, 0.75l

Grape variety:
Alzania 21 del 10 is a red wine made from 100% Syrah. It is one of the first varietal Syrah wines in the Navarra region and remains among the reference wines of this variety on the Iberian Peninsula. Here the Syrah variety gives the wine intensity, fullness, spiciness and ageing potential.

Vineyard:
The grapes come from carefully selected hillside vineyards in the Navarra region, specifically around Los Arcos. The vineyards are located on soils rich in gypsum (calcium sulphate), a specific geological feature that influences the character of the wine and contributes to its minerality and complexity. The combination of a continental and Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine and differences between day and night temperatures allows the grapes to reach optimal ripeness while preserving structure and aromatics.

Production and ageing:
The grapes are carefully selected and processed with an emphasis on the quality of the raw material. Fermentation takes place in a controlled manner, so as to preserve the character of the Syrah variety and the terroir. The wine then ages for 12–14 months in new French oak barrels, which gives it structure, complexity and delicate notes of wood, without suppressing its fruity expression.

Aroma and taste:
The aroma features intense notes of dark fruit, such as blackberries and plums, complemented by spicy nuances, pepper and delicate notes of vanilla and toast from the oak ageing. On the palate the wine is full, structured and complex, with well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish.

Food pairing:
Thanks to its structure and intensity, it pairs wonderfully with red meats, steaks, game, grilled dishes or stronger cheeses such as Zamorano or Prado Lambón. It also goes excellently with dishes featuring spiced sauces.
The recommended serving temperature is 16–18°C, so that its complexity and aromatic profile can shine.
