Wineries
Bodegas Castillo de Enériz was bought in 2014 in order to elaborate the grapes coming from vineyards in Appellation Navarra owned by the family in the village of Cárcar, in the Ribera Alta of Navarra. These grapes make a difference because of their top quality. One of the reasons that pushed Manzanos Wines to acquire this winery is because it was a new winery that had enough space to increase capacity to elaborate and bottle. Tradition and new techniques come together in our winery. From the modern winemaking room to our ageing room, where our wines rest in select French and American oak barrels. Nowadays it is possible to store up to 2000 barrels.
The vineyards located in the village of Cárcar correspond to five different varieties, which are placed on a sunny plateau. All of them have irrigation system. This is a technique that the family has implemented in all its vineyards, so that each bunch of grapes receives the same amount of sunlight and water and guarantees the optimal health of the vineyards.
All this work is developed with the experience and extensive trajectory of more than 130 years of work that supports us.
