Pago de Cirsus Oak Aged Red Blend

Winemaker Pago de Cirsus on the winery

“Our winery is located on the Finca Bolandín estate, near Ablitas in southern Navarra. What makes us special is that our estate has been recognised since 2014 as D.O.P. Bolandín, a so-called Vino de Pago. This is a distinctive Spanish appellation awarded only to individual estates with unique terroir and a demonstrably distinctive character. All our grapes come from our own vineyards, and the wines are produced and bottled on the estate. The combination of soil, climate and our winemaking approach gives our wines their own identity.”

And on Navarra, Spain

“Our Oak Aged is a blend of Tempranillo and Merlot from our vineyards in Navarra. Following careful manual selection, the grapes are destemmed and crushed. A four-day cold maceration helps extract colour and fruit aromas before fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks. The wine then spends four months ageing in oak barrels, predominantly French oak. The result is a full, fruit-driven red with aromas of blueberries and blackberries, complemented by subtle toasted notes. The tannins are firm yet ripe, leading to a fresh, fruity finish.”
