Profile of Bodegas Ochoa Winery
Wine Map Navarra
Profile of Navarra Wine Region
Ochoa is one of the top wineries in Navarra in terms of quality, value for money and for
innovation. It is a family-run firm, Javier Ochoa being the winemaker and Alvaro Ochoa
the sales director. The grapes are grown and selected by the Ochoa family. Javier Ochoa
is personally responsable for making all of the wines. The bodega is not quite boutique,
but production is limited and yields are low, in order to make the wines concentrated
with depth and complexity. The vineyards are located in the gorgeous, medieval village
of Olite and in Traibuenas. The historic winery dating back to the 1800's is still used
for oak maturation, while the newer winery just outside Olite includes modern
installations for vinification and the bottle pavillions. Ochoa is best known for its
excellent rosado wines, for its great value reds and recently has gained international
attention for its delicious Moscatel sweetie.
"Bodegas Ochoa Navarra Reserva 1997- This chewy red offers ripe cherry and plum flavors,
with notes of black olive and licorice. Firm tannins give it structure, but the wine remains
balanced. 5,000 cases made" - T.M., Wine Spectator, September 2002

Wine Tour Navarra
If you love fine food and wine, then a gourmet tour of Spain's Basque Country and La Rioja is a must! There are more Michelin starred restaurants per head in beautiful San Sebastian, than there are in Paris! The ancient wineries of Rioja are some of the most beautiful in Europe, and if you love culture than you'll love the north as stunning monasteries and cathedrals line the medieval pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, called "Saint James Way"...
