Production of Puerta Adalia Cabernet Sauvignon / Garnacha Navarra D.O. - Bornos

The Navarra D.O. growing region is located in the heart of Spain and benefits from a pronounced warm climate. Sun-drenched days and cooler nights on the edge of the plateau foster intense aromas and an impressive ripeness of the grapes. The soils are varied, with components of limestone, clay and scree. This diversity supports a clear mineral depth and lends the cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Garnacha its distinctive character.

The vines grow on carefully selected parcels whose orientation enables optimal exposure to the sun. The low yields increase the concentration of the berries and promote pronounced aromatics. The influence of the warm days and fresher nights also ensures structure and tension in the finished wine.

The harvest is carried out selectively in order to process only fully ripe, aromatic grapes. In the winery, the berries are handled gently. First, the harvested fruit is destemmed into the fermentation tanks, where controlled maceration fermentation begins. During this process, the deep color is extracted from the grape skins and the tannins develop their finely structured character. Regular punching down of the cap intensifies color, fruit and structure.

After fermentation, the wine continues to mature, partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wooden barrels. The stainless steel tank preserves freshness, clarity and fruit intensity. Maturation in wooden barrels imparts additional complexity, creamy vanilla notes and subtle toasted aromas. A finely calibrated use of barriques prevents the wood from becoming dominant and instead underlines fruit and elegance.

The philosophy of the Bornos estate focuses on clear origin, purity of flavor and drinking pleasure. The cellar style aims for red wines with expressive fruit, harmonious structure and precise balance between power and elegance. Puerta Adalia Cabernet Sauvignon / Garnacha Navarra D.O. - Bornos embodies this signature impressively and presents itself as a characterful ambassador of Spanish red wine culture.
