Casa de Lúculo Garnacha Blanca Navarra white wine dry DO Spain (12 x 0.75l)

• STORY: In his standard work "La Casa de Lúculo" 90 years ago, the Spanish restaurateur Julio Camba called for turning away from mass consumption and appreciating genuine enjoyment. It is no coincidence that he refers to the Roman general and hedonist Lucius Licinius Lucullus. This is entirely in keeping with the spirit of winemaker Virginia Arranz.

• AGEING: Partial aging for 3 months in French oak barrels.

• AROMA: Pale yellow color with green reflections. On the nose, citric notes are combined with nuances of white flowers.

• RATING: Rich on the palate with juicy peach aromas, fine herbs and typical oak tones such as nuts and brioche. Well structured with good acidity and a lingering finish.

• SERVING RECOMMENDATION: Thanks to its aromatic intensity, this Blanco goes wonderfully with many different dishes. From fish to salads to rice dishes ideal. Especially delicious with soft, creamy cheeses like Camembert or nutty cheeses like Gruyère.

Your Bodega Casa de Lúculo is located in the extreme north of the DONAVARRA, where both the Pyrenees and the Atlantic Ocean have an influence. Here she does an excellent job with the Garnacha Atlántica grape, which she describes as "the hidden gem of Navarre and the region's identity". The Lúculo wines come from the oldest Garnacha vines in Baja Montana, almost 100 years old, and express the unique character of this unspoilt region. The counterpart "Cátulo" reflects the fresh and untamed face of Garnacha and pays homage to the Roman philosopher Catullus. The winery is managed according to strict organic standards. The wild heart of the region beats unadulterated in every drop. It's all excitingly fresh, sexy, multi-faceted and authentic. Or as Julio Camba would say: the true desire for pleasure.
