WINE MAKING PROCESS
Bodegas Navajas Crianza is produced using traditional Rioja grape varietals, with Tempranillo as the primary component. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, typically in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. The wine then matures for a period of 12 to 15 months in oak barrels, which may include a mix of French and American oak, before being aged further in the bottle. This process is guided by the winery's long-standing family philosophy of prioritizing quality throughout the winemaking journey.
