"A fresh, nuanced and spicy nose with touches of white pepper, red berries and grilled grapefruit. Firm, fine-veined tannins highlight tension and cohesiveness on the medium-to full-bodied palate. Quite long, peppery and minerally in the finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"The phenomenal 2021 Santa Cruz de shows even better than last year and is evolving very slowly. 2021 was a very good and balanced vintage in Navarra, and the wine shows the completeness of the year, combining power with elegance. It's perfumed but with restraint, tasty and long, with abundant, very fine-grained tannins. It should develop nicely and slowly in bottle. 4,020 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023."
