General Information
Aroa Laia 2024 is made exclusively from Garnacha Blanca sourced from organic vineyards with low yields, located in the Yerri Valley, sheltered by the Urbasa and Andía mountain ranges. The vines grow on fresh clay-limestone soils and have never been treated with synthetic chemical products. The result is a white wine that purely reflects the varietal characteristics and its terroir.
The harvest is carried out manually at the beginning of September, ensuring a careful and environmentally respectful collection process.
Aroa Laia is vinified with gentle pressing and low-temperature fermentations (16 ºC) to preserve the primary aromas of the grape as much as possible. 50% of the wine undergoes a 3-month aging process in French and European oak barrels, which adds complexity and structure without losing freshness.
Bodegas Aroa, located in the heart of Navarra, is a “boutique” winery that is a pioneer in organic and biodynamic agriculture. It is part of the Vintae group and holds the prestigious Wineries for Climate Protection certification. Its philosophy is based on minimal intervention and maximum respect for nature, resulting in authentic, expressive, and sustainable wines like Aroa Laia.
Aroa Laia 2024 expresses itself as a festival of tropical and citrus fruits, with a refreshing herbaceous touch in the background. On the palate, it stands out for its vibrant acidity and a subtle saline hint. The ideal white wine from Navarra to pair with seafood, ceviches, sushi, fresh salads, or soft cheeses.
Creators' opinion
Laia is a white gold wine with lime green hues. Pale, clean, and bright. On the nose, tropical fruit aromas (passion fruit, pineapple, mango) stand out, accompanied by citrus notes of grapefruit and mandarin, refreshed with soft hints of spearmint. Fresh acidity on the palate, where fruits like peach and apple reappear, with a saline memory of the Cantabrian Sea on the horizon.
The winery
At Aroa Bodegas, the entire project is focused on sustainable management and the use of natural resources with the least impact on the environment and surroundings. Located in El Valle de Yerri, sheltered by the Urbasa and Andía mountain ranges, it is one of the highest areas in Navarra, standing out for its freshness and the influence that the proximity of the Cantabrian Sea brings to its climate. Aroa wines are organic and are crafted through an artisanal process, with the aim of expressing the essence of the place where they are born, without additives or alterations. To achieve the best results, each plot and variety is harvested separately. It has 25 hectares of its own vineyards and an additional 26 hectares under control.
