Gómez Cruzado is debuting the 2016 vintage of its PANCRUDO TERROIR SELECTION. This wine is an expression of Grenache grown in a cold mountainous area in the Upper Najerilla Valley of Rioja DOCa. Grown in a traditionally claret region, this Grenache exhibits a unique, delicate and subtle character. The potential of this area to produce red wine with finesse, minerality, acidity and fruitiness has been recently rediscovered. Wine critic and writer Oz Clarke declares PANCRUDO one of the best Grenache wines in the world in his recent article on the best wines of this variety published in the British magazine DECANTER.
The Michelin Stars Francis Paniego and the Echapresto brothers make up the outstanding culinary team that will be offering exclusive creations to be paired with the fourteen wines that have been specially selected by the leading wineries. Master pastry chef Juan Ángel Rodrigálvarez, Winner of Spain’s National Gastronomy Award in 2010, will put the finishing touch on with his chocolate Maraví. This huge celebration of La Rioja’s wine and cuisine will take place on June 16th in the emblematic Haro Station district.
The GÓMEZ CRUZADO winery located in Haro’s Barrio de la Estación in La Rioja has been awarded TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence for the fourth year in a row. It recognizes tourist destinations for their hospitality and is granted only to those establishments that consistently receive good reviews from travelers.
