"The 2023 Kauten is a varietal Garnacha from Olite in Navarra. The nose opens with intense cherry alongside wild herbs, rosehip blossom and hints of orange peel. The palate is delicate yet energetic, with clear fruit expression and fine tannins that remain slightly reactive—likely influenced by the inclusion of up to 30% stems." -JH, Jun/2026
93 Points - Wine Advocate
"All the reds show different from each other, all with marked personality. The 2023 Kauten is a little more Mediterranean, open and oxidative. It was produced with the younger vines in Olite at 410 meters above sea level. It fermented with indigenous yeasts, part with foot-trodden clusters in stainless steel and matured in used French oak barrels for seven months. None of the wines show any aromatic impact from the oak, all showing their character without makeup. This shows some ripeness at 14% alcohol, keeping the balance with a pH of 3.32 and 6.5 grams of acidity. 3,096 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2025." -LG, 12/4/25
