Description

Ozu Premium Cuvée 2022 | DO Navarra, Spain

Ozu Premium Cuvée 2022 is a refined and modern red wine crafted by Bodega Otazu in Navarra, blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tempranillo into a wine that balances Mediterranean richness with freshness, structure and elegance. Produced from estate-grown vineyards surrounding the historic Otazu estate, the wine reflects the winery’s philosophy of precision, balance and terroir expression.

The vineyards are located near the Sierra del Perdón where Atlantic and continental influences moderate the warm Mediterranean climate, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving freshness and aromatic complexity. This climatic balance gives the wine both concentration and elegance.

The 2022 vintage combines ripe fruit with polished structure and careful oak integration, creating a red that feels modern, smooth and highly gastronomic. Aging in oak barrels adds texture and complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit and freshness of the wine.

On the nose, Ozu Premium Cuvée 2022 opens with aromas of black cherry, ripe plum and blackberry layered with notes of cocoa, sweet spice, cedar and subtle vanilla. The palate is smooth, velvety and balanced with ripe tannins, fresh acidity and a long elegant finish.

This is a contemporary Spanish red blend designed for both immediate enjoyment and serious food pairing — approachable yet beautifully polished.
