NEW WINE ALERT! NEW WINE ALERT!
BANG FOR YOUR BUCK ALERT! BANG FOR YOUR BUCK ALERT!
“Lurra” is the Basque word for terroir and hails from the heart of Basque country in the region of Navarra… also known for its large sheep population, hence the label. This region is located in the northeast of Spain and lies in between Rioja and the French border. The Lurra Garnacha is made very simply in stainless steel and sees no oak aging so that it is a pure expression of its terroir. The resulting wine is very fresh and lively with a great concentration of blackberries and ripe plums along with some subtle earth and spice characteristics. We dig it! $11
