Aroa Bodegas, in the Yeri Valley of Navarra’s Tierra Estella, is an organic and biodynamic winery working with high-altitude vineyards. It’s part of the Vintae group, led by brothers Ricardo and José Miguel Arambarri, who grew their family Rioja project into multiple wine ranges across several wineries, partnering with over 40 growers. Their focus is on making expressive, accessible wines from lesser-known regions and grapes across Spain, with a special passion for Grenache and helping elevate its potential. Sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards on the northern edge of Navarra near the Urbasa and Andia mountains, this wine is made with natural yeasts, with half aged for three months in French and European oak. In the glass, it shows a straw-yellow hue with bright aromas of passionfruit, lime, tangerine, and citrus blossom. The palate is light, zesty, and vibrant, with a refreshing saline finish and a touch of Mediterranean flair.
