This is an exciting, special cuvée from good friends of our Buyer Beth. In 2014, the Manzanos family in Rioja acquired a bodega in next door Navarra. In vaults beneath the cellar they discovered bottles of mature, Reserva quality wines. An exciting find – but they needed the space. Knowing our customers would love these wines, they contacted Beth and offered her a chance to buy at a ridiculously good price. Numerada 32 is a rich, supple and long flavoured blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Cabernet, aged in French and US barrels for 18 months – considerably longer than most Crianzas. Elegant, long and complex with rich black fruit, spice and subtle vanilla tones, it’s for drinking now or cellaring further. Enjoy with grilled meats or tapas.
