Produced by Bodegas Julián Chivite in DO Navarra, Chivite Legardeta Finca de Villatuerta Syrah is an elegant varietal Spanish red wine.
The Syrah grapes were sourced from a single vineyard, Finca de Villatuerta. They were manually harvested at dusk, carefully selected, destemmed and gently crushed. After a brief maceration, they were fermented in stainless steel tanks.
After that, Chivite Legardeta Finca de Villatuerta Syrah 2018 was transferred into new French oak barrels from Allier and aged for 14 months.
We suggest that you aerate this red wine form Navarra 30 minutes before drinking.
