Many of you will know the Manzanos name from the superb range of Riojas the family have been making for more than 130 years. However, they also own an estate in next door Navarra, a region whose wines we've been singing the praises of for years. Yet they still remain relatively unknown, which is why they offer such superb value. Even 20-30 years ago, estates there were experimenting with non-native varieties and the results were exciting. This sumptuous 7 year old Reserva uses Cabernet with native Tempranillo and Garnacha, from vines up to 60 years old. Hence the lovely intensity in this long aged red. Matured in barrel, this is a rich, complex wine with toasty fruit and a long finish. Great with tapas, with lighter meats or on its own.
