{"title":"Pedro Pasion","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"297\" data-end=\"649\" class=\"\"\u003eFrom the undulating vineyards of Navarra, Pedro Pasión offers a vivid, modern expression of Spanish red winemaking—rooted in regional tradition, but styled with approachability and verve. A blend of Tempranillo and Merlot, this cuvée reflects both the heritage of Spain’s native varietals and the supple, fruit-forward appeal of international blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"1106\" class=\"\"\u003eThe 2021 vintage marries 80% Tempranillo with 20% Merlot, striking a balance between structure and softness. Tempranillo brings savory depth, gentle spice, and firm tannins, while Merlot lends plush blackberry fruit and a round, velvety mid-palate. The result is a red wine that opens with aromatic generosity—black cherry, blueberry, crushed violets, and a touch of warm clove—and follows through with a palate that is fresh, supple, and subtly textured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1426\" class=\"\"\u003eVinification is guided by a philosophy of balance. The wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit clarity, then aged briefly to soften tannins without obscuring varietal character. This minimal intervention approach results in a wine that is expressive without being heavy, generous without being overripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1799\" class=\"\"\u003ePedro Pasión is designed for versatility. Its profile suits a range of pairings, from grilled meats and roasted vegetables to richer Mediterranean dishes. It complements the spice of chorizo, the umami of aged cheeses, and the sweetness of slow-roasted tomatoes. With its fine tannins and clean finish, it adapts seamlessly to both casual meals and more considered menus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1801\" data-end=\"2252\" class=\"\"\u003eThe name, “Pasión,” evokes not just intensity, but the emotion behind the craft—a passion for expressing terroir, for celebrating regional identity, and for offering a wine that resonates widely without sacrificing authenticity. Though contemporary in style, Pedro Pasión remains grounded in Navarra’s long-standing reputation for producing balanced, aromatic reds from limestone-streaked soils and a climate marked by both sun and Atlantic influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2485\" class=\"\"\u003eWhether poured by the glass in a lively bistro or uncorked alongside a home-cooked meal, Pedro Pasión invites enjoyment. It is a wine that welcomes conversation, built not to impress with volume but to engage with harmony and ease.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pedro-pasion-tempranillo-merlot-2022-750ml","title":"Pedro Pasion Tempranillo Merlot 2023 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eJuicy plum, cherry and a hint of spice with a soft, round finish.
