Today, we wanted to share some news with you that fills us with pride. Despite the decades that attest to our winemaking experience, there’s no doubt that every time we’re recognised by the top opinion leaders and publications in the industry, it’s a pat on the back that thrills us and encourages us to continue in our quest for quality.
In that regard, today we wanted to share with you that three of Bodegas Arzuaga’s wines have stood out for the high marks achieved in the latest scores published by the American magazine Wine Enthusiast, highlighting the two white Chardonnay wines our winery makes as well as one of our reds. Although there’s no doubt that red wines are the jewel in our crown, at Arzuaga we’ve also been producing white wines for years now, and for us it’s a real honour that publications as prominent as this one recognise their quality.
One of the whites recognised by Wine Enthusiast is our Arzuaga Fan D. Oro 2020, which scored 91 points, while the highest score of the three wines mentioned went to a red, our Arzuaga Reserva Especial 2016, which scored 93. This is a very powerful red that is at the same time very smooth, elegant and balanced. Fan D. Oro, on the other hand, is a white wine made in Quintanilla de Onésimo and very closely linked to the Arzuaga family. So much so that its name itself alludes to the family, as ‘Fan’ stands for ‘Familia Arzuaga Navarro’, while ‘D. Oro’ refers to the wine’s golden colour. The vineyards that are the source of this wine are located on the La Planta estate and are over 20 years old and grown in a traditional way.
Finally, Pago Mota 2020, the other white wine we make at Arzuaga, was given a score of 89 points by Wine Enthusiast. This is a single variety Chardonnay made from grapes grown in Arzuaga’s vineyards in Malagón, Ciudad Real. It’s an original, fresh and fruity white wine.
We here at Bodegas Arzuaga are always thrilled by these recognitions from industry experts, and we love being able to share them with you. Remember that all our wines are available online at https://tienda.arzuaganavarro.com, so you can discover the reason for these great scores yourself. Cheers!
