Descripción

Bakan es un vino excelente, como reza su nombre en vasco. Es una garnacha hecha para el disfrute inmediato procedente de viñedos de la Ribera Baja de Navarra, donde la uva se impregna del carácter del suelo pedregoso. Un tinto crujiente y fresco, lleno de fruta roja explosiva y con una fluidez que lo hace peligrosamente bebible. Es la esencia de la Garnacha joven llena de energía, frescura y honestidad.

Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

The 2024 Bakan is a varietal Mazuela/Cariñena, of which only 50 hectares remain in the whole of Navarra, produced with grapes from Pontigos. It fermented with 20% full clusters and some 3% Viura in open-top 1,000-liter tanks and matured in a used 500-liter barrel for a shorter time, some eight months instead of one year. It comes in at 13.6% alcohol, with a pH of 3.17 and 6.4 grams of acidity, with contained ripeness and very good freshness. They are going for less time in oak and more time in oak in general. It has a characterful nose, with a combination of flowers and bright red berries with some notes of tree bark. It has depth and complexity and is full-bodied and concentrated, with tannins but with superb balance and very good freshness. It's a step up from the previous vintage, and it has aging potential. 2,600 bottles were filled in July 2025.

James Suckling:

Minty with a very subtle touch of vanilla, combined with the characteristic herbal lift of mazuela (carignan). Medium- to full-bodied, with an evenly distributed thread of fruit that runs the length of the palate. Juicy and powerful yet balanced by bright acidity. Drink or hold.
