Bodega Otazu

Located next to Pamplona, only 60 km from the Cantabrian Sea and 35 km from the Pyrenees,
Bodega Otazu lies nestled in a small valley crossed by the Arga river and surrounded by the
sierra del Perdón and sierra del Sarbil. The origin of the winery dates back to 1840 when the
first French style winery was built in Navarre, outside of the urban area and as a single-estate
vineyard. The ancient building has now been turned into a wine museum and art center with
pieces of prestigious international artists, and it has been equipped with the very last
winemaking and bottling technologies. Architectonically speaking, its spectacular underground
barrels room stands out, being internationally known as the Wine Cathedral. The philosophy of
Bodega Otazu is to produce premium wines expressing the essence of the terroir they are
coming from. This is the reason why the entire wine range is exclusively produced with the
grape varieties grown in this single-estate vineyard of 116 hectares: Tempranillo, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Berués. Bodega Otazu is one of
the 19 Spanish wineries which were given the highest certification and recognition in Spain –
Pago Appellation of Origin – guaranteeing the selection as well as the unique and outstanding
personality of each of its wines.
