🍷 1864 Olite Garnacha Tempranillo 2020 Dry Red wine is a dry red wine from D.O. Navarra, Spain, combining 90% Garnacha with 10% Tempranillo. Garnacha takes the lead in this full-bodied blend, while oak ageing gives the wine a composed, savoury character. At 14% alcohol in a 750 ml bottle, it is an appealing choice for a generous dinner or a cheese plate shared with friends.
🍇 1864 Olite Garnacha Tempranillo 2020 Dry Red wine - intense cherry-red colour introduces a nose of fresh dark fruit, spice, balsamic nuances, woodland notes and cedar. The palate is structured and elegant, with fruit at its centre and a long mineral finish. These qualities give the wine enough presence for flavourful food without turning every sip into a heavy experience. It rewards a little time in the glass as the aromas open.
🪵 Bodegas Manzanos specifies eighteen months of ageing in a combination of 60% French and 40% American oak barrels. This is the producer’s published Crianza profile. Oak supports the blend’s shape and adds another layer to the fruit, making the wine suitable for a meal that moves from roast meat to semi-cured cheese.
🍽️ Red meat and semi-cured cheeses are the winery’s recommended pairings. Try it alongside a roast, grilled beef or a simple board of cheese and bread. Serve around 16–18°C, a practical suggestion that keeps the fruit clear and the alcohol comfortable. Pour a small glass first; if the wine feels closed, give it a little air before returning to it.
🏰 The name recalls the royal palace of Olite and the region’s long wine tradition. 1864 Olite Garnacha Tempranillo 2020 Dry Red wine has earned Double Gold at the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge in 2025 and 92 points from Wine Enthusiast. Those recognitions belong to the same harvest as this bottle. It is a Spanish red for people who enjoy dark fruit, an oak-aged style and a meal worth taking time over.
