Norzagarai Carralciego 2018
Norzagarai Vinos Autenticos is Santiago's one-man project. Originally Basque, but in Rioja Alavesa he found the vineyards from which he wants to make wine. Keywords: low intervention wine, single Vineyard, elegance.
This single Vineyard wine is for lovers of big 'n bold Riojas. Originating from a 55-year-old vineyard, the soil of which consists of large blocks of limestone. As always with Norzagarai, spontaneous fermentation and long maturation in oak barrels.
Very powerful, explosive nose with lots of blue and black fruit, with a fine layer of spiciness. In the mouth we find the same flavors. Already very tasty, but a few years of cellar maturation will provide even more drinking pleasure.
