Buy Tandem Ars Nova Navarra Cabernet Tempranillo Merlot 2016 – Navarra Red Wine
Discover the rich complexity of Tandem Ars Nova Navarra Cabernet Tempranillo Merlot 2016, a premium Spanish red wine crafted in the cool-climate foothills of the Yerri Valley, Navarra. This elegant yet powerful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Tempranillo (40%), and Merlot (20%) showcases the very best of Spanish winemaking, under the expert guidance of acclaimed winemaker Alicia Eyaralar.
A bold Spanish red wine with depth and elegance
Aged to perfection, this full-flavoured Navarra red is overflowing with layers of ripe dark fruit, mocha, and spicy vanilla. On the nose, expect inviting aromas of blackberry compote, plum, and hints of cocoa and clove. The palate is smooth yet structured, with generous flavours of blackcurrant, dried cherry, and a subtle lift of sweet spice from oak ageing.
The wine’s mountain terroir brings an impressive balance of ripe fruit, freshness and minerality, resulting in a long, satisfying finish. With an ABV of 14.5% and a medium-full body (Body D), Tandem Ars Nova is ideal for both sipping and pairing with hearty dishes.

Winery | Tandem's vineyard philosophy is based on sustainable farming and minimal intervention while maintaining the vineyard's health and viability. The natural conditions of the valley ensure that pesticide treatments can be kept to a minimum. They take the form of sulphur and copper, avoiding products made from synthetic chemicals. The vines are dry-farmed and undergo a green harvest to obtain lower yields, a key factor in achieving a greater concentration of the berries. The vines are trained using the Guyot method and are grown in clay loam soils. Harvesting occurs at optimal ripeness and during the coolest hours of the day so the grapes retain their freshness. |
