Product Description
Details

Produced by the Máximo Abete winery, Guerinda La Cruzica Sin Sulfitos is a no-added sulphites Spanish red wine made solely from Tempranillo.

It is produced from two plots of organically farmed vines, La Cruzica and Peralope, located in Baja Montaña, DO Navarra.

Harvested by hand, hte grapes were first macerated in stainless steel tanks and then they fermented spontaneously. After that, this natural wine was transferred into French oak barrels. There, Guerinda La Cruzica Sin Sulfitos 2021 was aged for 4 months.

As minimal-intervention as it gets, this Tempranillo from Navarra is a rather interesting wine.

Since it opens tight, we suggest that you aerate this low sulfites red wine some minutes before drinking it.

Appearance

The wine Guerinda La Cruzica Sin Sulfitos is medium ruby with a garnet rim.

Nose

After aerating it for some minutes to do away with the initial reductive notes, this varietal Tempranillo begins to sing.  Blackcurrants and violets, with forest-like remembrances, licorice and a dimly toasted and spicy note.

Palate

Crisp and nuanced, this wine of bodega Máximo Abete has a spirited character and a kind of "directness" which is typical of a sulfite-free wine. Fruit-driven and very fresh, with a long finish reminiscent of herbs, blue flowers and black fruit.

Our personal opinion

Flawlessly crafted, Guerinda La Cruzica Sin Sulfitos 2021 is a joy to drink.
