Established since the mid-nineteenth century, Guelbenzu built a new winery in Vierlas, in 2001. The nearby Mount Moncayo and north wind creates perfect growing conditions for grapes – with high temperature differences between day and night, and protection from excessive moisture around the vines.
Guelbenzu 'Evo' wine is an elegant blend from Ribera del Queiles (pronounced kay-les), predominantly Caberenet Sauvignon. Probably the best-known of the Guelbenzu range. Complex aromas of cassis, liquorice and cigar box. This rich and powerful red has further black fruit, balsamic and spicy oak notes - full bodied yet elegant with ripe tannins and a lingering finish. Perfect with roast lamb, duck or cassoulet.
