- Review: Aged in French oak, this perennial Astor favorite is a soft, fruity red with engaging spicy character. "The already traditional Coleccion Privada by Navarro Correas, comprises four red wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Syrah, Merlot; and one white wine: Chardonnay. They have the perfect balance between fruit and oak, with 12 months aging in small oak barrels (40%). Each varietal part of this family depicts a label with paintings by different Argentinean artists who show there their view of wine as a work of art.
- Comments: The Winery With more than two centuries of seamless track record, NAVARRO CORREAS is a leading Winery in the premium wine market. Since 1996, the Winery is owned by DIAGEO, the global leader in the alcoholic beverage business, and is operated through its subsidiary CINBA S.A. Tradition, Elegance and Prestige are the brand's key attributes that identify NAVARRO CORREAS among a wide range of argentine Wineries. Origin The Navarro Correas line descends from the Correas family, a long- standing, traditional family of fine winemakers. The family origin dates back to 1798 when Don Juan de Dios Correas planted the first vines in Mendoza at the feet of the Andes ridge. Since mid 1800s and for more than a century, the family used to sell their grapes and wines to other producers. Finally, in 1974 Edmundo Navarro Correas, a direct descendant of Juan de Dios Correas, started to produce wines bearing the family’s name. The New Winery In order to increase its wine production and storage capacity, expand its export goals and gain inception in Wine Tour circuits, NAVARRO CORREAS has built new plant facilities in Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, Argentine Republic. With a total investment of 3 million dollars, the new Winery will occupy a 3.5 ha area and will include a 800 sq m Visitor Center, a Wine Bar, two tasting rooms, an exhibition room, a reception room, two underground caves for Premium wines, and a fermentation, conservation and grape harvesting area. The Winery’s hallmark NAVARRO CORREAS stands out for applying special methods to grape selection and special techniques to the vinification process, combining traditional methods with leading-edge technologies for the production of world-class wines. NAVARRO CORREAS is capable of offering a selected range of wines and sparkling wines based on its commitment to constant innovation and investments in state-of-the-art cooling systems, stainless steel barrels and small French oak casks, all of them bearing the unmistakable seal of NAVARRO CORREAS.
