The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The Pago de Cirsus Cuvée Especial is a jewel of wine expertise. Described as "perfection to the last drop" by our own vinologist, this wine embodies the essence of Spanish wine tradition. This journey to perfection began in 2000 when Inaki Nunez became the proud owner of the majestic La Finca Bolandín estate in Navarra. Situated nearly four hundred meters above sea level, he planted one hundred and forty hectares of vineyards. This land would become the birthplace of the Pago de Cirsus Cuvée Especial. But what truly made this wine stand out was the collaboration with renowned winemaker Jean Marc Sauboua, who left his mark on Château Haut Brion in Bordeaux. He seized this opportunity to perfect the Pago de Cirsus Cuvée Especial.
The magic of Pago de Cirsus Cuvée Especial stems from the southern region of Navarra. Here, the Merlot, Tempranillo, and Syrah grapes—the heart of this wine—thrive in a unique vineyard bathed in sunshine yet benefiting from cooling breezes. This balance is achieved through the winds from the nearby mountains and the sharp drop in nighttime temperatures. Thanks to the vines' deep roots and nutrient-rich soil structure, the grapes are optimally equipped to withstand the sun. The careful hand-harvest at sunrise guarantees that only the finest grapes make it into Pago de Cirsus Cuvée Especial.
Each grape variety is carefully harvested, after which the masterful Jean Marc Sauboua applies his art of blending to this Cuvée Especial. After months of patience and expertise, this wine is aged for a full fourteen months in oak barrels in the serene cellars of Pago de Cirsus. The result? The Pago de Cirsus Cuvée Especial, often referred to as the "jewel of Navarra." With aromas of cappuccino, candied berries, a hint of smoke, and vanilla, it's a feast for the senses that will delight any wine lover.
But the Pago de Cirsus Cuvée Especial doesn't stop there. This wine, rich with notes of blueberry liqueur, licorice, tobacco, wood, vanilla, spices, and black fruit, is a true treat for the senses. It's the crown jewel of Pago de Cirsus, an ode to the art of winemaking. We could go on describing every nuance, but we encourage you to discover the depths of this exquisite Navarra for yourself. Cheers with Pago de Cirsus Cuvée Especial!
