2023 Domaines Lupier Navarra Garnacha la Dama

Wine Notes: 100% Garnacha. Sourced from a prime 120-year-old 3-hectare paraje called Lupier at the highest reaches of the estate on a complex mix of limestone, slate and granite. Fermented spontaneously in tank with significant whole-cluster inclusion and 30 days of post-fermentation maceration. Raised in four 500L French barrels, with 2500 bottles produced. 13.5% alcohol

Wine Advocate 98 – “The more delicate, ethereal and fine 2023 La Dama has a paler color and is fragrant and subtle, with a sense of fragility and delicacy like no vintage before. The grapes from the lower part of the main vineyard, called Lupier, where you find less slate (but still slate), were picked in early September and were vinified with 100% full clusters and a long maceration. The higher part was vinified separately and might be released as a new single-vineyard wine; but there are only a couple of barrels of it, and they have not yet decided what to do. The alcohol level is contained, at around 13.5%. It’s precise, clean and focused and has purity of aromas and flavors, a delicate texture, super fine tannins, balance and lots of energy. The two wines are now more different than ever. It’s really stunning, bravo! 2,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2025.”
