General Information
La Planta 2024 is one of the most affordable red wines from Arzuaga Navarro and stands out for its youth, exuberance, and excellent value for money. This single-varietal tempranillo red wine is made from selected vines cultivated on the estate that gives it its name: Finca La Planta, located a few kilometers from the winery in Quintanilla de Onésimo (Valladolid), within the prestigious “Golden Mile” of Ribera del Duero.
At Finca La Planta, the vines grow at over 900 meters above sea level on clay-limestone soils and in a continental climate. The tempranillo grape clusters were hand-harvested in small 15 kg boxes. Once at the winery, the best fruits were selected, and after a meticulous winemaking process, the wine underwent 6 months of aging in French and American oak barrels.
Florentino Arzuaga chose one of the most privileged areas of Ribera del Duero, the Quintanilla de Onésimo region (Valladolid), to establish his winemaking project: Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro (1987). After starting the plantation of the La Planta estate, he continued to increase the vineyard area to the 154 hectares it currently encompasses and began the construction of facilities that are also a significant center for wine tourism.
La Planta 2024 is perfect for pairing with lamb chops grilled over vine shoots or meat dishes like Beef Wellington.
The winery
Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro is one of the quality benchmarks of Ribera del Duero and one of the great wineries of our country. It produces modern wines with a fruit-forward expression, powerful yet elegant and balanced, and with a marked character of what a great Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero has to offer.
The brilliant journey of Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro began in the early nineties thanks to the determination of Florentino Arzuaga, a hospitality entrepreneur who sought to establish a cutting-edge winery project on the banks of the Duero. To achieve this, he chose one of the most privileged areas of this production zone, which was then in full expansion: the municipality of Quintanilla de Onésimo (Valladolid), in the area known as the “golden mile” of Ribera del Duero, where illustrious names such as Vega Sicilia and Finca Villacreces are located.
The winery's first vineyard was planted in the early nineties at Finca La Planta, a 1400-hectare estate located a few kilometers from the facilities, at an altitude of over 900 meters on clay-limestone soil, giving it very particular characteristics. Finca La Planta today hosts 70 hectares of vineyards.
In addition to La Planta, Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro owns other estates in the municipalities of Quintanilla de Onésimo and on the plateau of Olivares de Duero, and continues to undertake new plantations, all organically farmed.
Furthermore, Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro has become one of the main wine tourism destinations in Ribera del Duero: it features a hotel, spa, and restaurant, as well as offering visits to Finca La Planta, where deer and wild boar can be spotted.
