The acquired some land in
the Obarenses Mount slopes, a perfect spot due to
its clay-chalk soil sheltered from the winds; vineyards
are planted, mostly “tempranillo” grape;
they harvest towards the end of October, like in
all this far region of the Rioja Alta; and they
elaborate the first harvest in a strictly handmade
fashion, so, eventually, in 1973, the first wine
is obtained.
Once its excellent quality had
been contrasted, at the same standard as the best
Rioja Alta wines, they commercialized it, increased
the number of casks, improved the installations
and finally, moved the cellar to some new buildings
located in the gardens of the castle and zealously
designed to respect the esthetic harmony of the
surroundings.
So this is how Castillo De
Sajazarra was born, a wine carrying the power of
its name.
Solar
De Libano Reserva 2003 Medium-dark cherry. Intense
and complex. Ripe, plumy fruit blending with
the liquorice typical of Tempranillo and the
vanilla and coconut contributed by the wood.
Medium-bodied, round and smooth in the mouth;
sweet tannins and a finish marked by the wood.
Persistent length, a very pleasant wine to
drink on its own or with food. Very much a
Rioja.

Castillo
De Sajazarra Reserva 2003 Attractive, deep cherry
with violet glints. Intense and complex, blending
ripe fruits with the tobacco, spices and medicinal
notes contributed by the wood. Creamy, with
a solid structure; mature, slightly driving
tannins. Harmoniously balanced and long, it
is a wine that is splendid now and bodes well
for the future.

Digma 2004
Digma 2005 Very deep cherry. Intense
aroma with finesse and elegance. Perfumed,
showing first mature red and black fruits
that blend smoothly with clove and nutmeg
notes and a subtle creamy hint. Powerful,
luscious and mouth-filling, with sweet and
mature tannins. A really elegant wine, full-bodied
yet retains its fruits and freshness.
