Pago de Cirsus Cuvee Especial

Dark cherry red colour, the nose is complex combining balsamic aromas with red berries. The palate is silky, syrupy, velvety and full-bodied with a long and powerful aftertaste.

Enjoy with smoked Idiazabal, Roquefort, cured Manchego, stews and traditional meat dishes.

The wine was aged in French oak casks for 12 months, followed by another 12 months in bottle before release to market. The blend comprises 40% Tempranillo, 30% Merlot and 30% Syrah.

The aim of Bodegas Pago de Cirsus is to make 100 percent single-estate wines of the very highest quality. The estate, located just outside the village of Ablitas in Navarra, runs along a canal at an altitude of 220 metres and enjoys a continental climate with high summer temperatures reaching between 30-40 ºC.

The 135 hectares of southerly vineyards are planted with Tempranillo, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and small grain Muscat. The average yield per hectare is intentionally reduced to approximately 4,000-4,500 kilos, which is much lower than what is regulated by the region’s control board. The result is excellent quality grapes with good colour that produce elegant wines with good body and a powerful structure.
