Ozu by Otazu Premium Cuvée 2024
The Señorío de Otazu winery produces the wine Ozu by Otazu Premium Cuvée - formerly known as Otazu Premium Cuvee - from a selection of the best estate-grown grapes.

Finally, this Crianza red wine from Navarra was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels and kept for some time in the cellar prior to its release.
