Bodegas Macaya is a family producer based in Larraga in the Ribera Alta region of Navarra. The family had been growing vines on their lands for generations before purchasing and renovating the old village winery in 1999, blending new technology with traditional winemaking methods. The Crianza is the top expression in the Condalo de Almara range — an equal blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in oak to develop complexity and structure. About This Wine A well-structured Crianza blending the fruit-forward character of Navarra Tempranillo with the depth and backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon. Oak ageing adds polish and complexity, resulting in a wine with real presence and a long, expressive finish.
