Otazu Altar

Otazu Altar is a single-plot red wine made by Bodega Otazu with the Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties in the D.O. Navarra.

Bodega Otazu Altar is the first winery built outside the old town of Otazu (Navarra) and the first to produce wines from a single estate. A French chateaux-style construction that incorporates the most advanced technology and has the capacity to produce 200,000 litres of wine. It is actually a complete wine museum that brings together art and architecture as a tribute to an old manor with a rich history.

The Otazu Altar grape comes from a vineyard certified as Single-Plot Protected Designation of Origin. Strains marked by an exceptional microclimate and cultivated using practices to control production to a maximum of 2 kg per bush. The harvest is carried out manually and separated by variety and plot. They are transported in 12 kg boxes.

When the Otazu Altar grape reaches the winery, it passes over a double selection table. It macerates cold for a week and alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. After aging for 18 months in French oak barrels, it rests in the bottle for a further 40 months.

Otazu Altar is a single-plot red wine that enjoys the full stately prestige of its origins.
