The excellent quality of its grapes is an inexcusable premise of good wine.
The prestigious Arzuaga Navarro winery was founded by the ambitious and dynamic Florentino Arzuaga, in the wine village of Quintanilla de Onésimo, 20 minutes away from the spectacular crusader castle in Peñafiel. The town of Quintanilla de Onésimo is considered to be Ribera Del Duero's "Golden Mile", as it is home to such wine superstars as Vega Sicilia, Pingus and Viña Mayor. In fact, Arzuaga's vines nestle right up to Vega Sicilia's vines. The beautiful Arzuaga estate is located in the most privileged part of the Duero region, rising 100 metres above the river. The grapes ripen very evenly here, with plenty of sunshine during the day and much cooler temperatures at night. This wine region of Spain is extremely dry and as such, the region can happily note an absence of fungal diseases. The Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grape is the celebrity for the Ribera del Duero wines, and Arzuaga use it magically, combining and complementing it with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Medium-high intensity, bigarreau cherry red with ruby edges, maintaining violet tones.
Nose: An impressive nose, full of ripe fruit, with aromatic and balsamic touches and a roasted background. It is the most fruity Arzuaga's aging, with the characteristic nuances of the house, an impressive nose full of raspberries and strawberries with hints of liquorice, always seasoned with notes of roast.
Palate: Round and elegant, the palate is velvety, unctuous, and attractive. These creamy sensations give us great length. The wine in the mouth is a faithful reminder of such a complex nose
