Pagos de Aráiz Winery

To understand a place, a story, you have to get to know its past and its beginnings. This winery was first conceived in 2000 when the Masaveu family acquired a property on the outskirts of Olite, Navarre.

Today, there are 240 hectares of vineyards with different grape varieties (Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) and 14,000 square metres of facilities on this land.

Traditional

Traditional winemaking methods, together with excellent raw materials and wine production that is differentiated according to variety and plot, allow Pagos de Aráiz to create complex and balanced wines.

We base our work on the traditions of winemaking culture, on the wisdom of our ancestors and on the knowledge that emanates from this land. We focus on the work in front of us, without forgetting our roots; we take advantage of each past experience to innovate every day, consistently looking for ways to optimise our work.

Innovation

Pagos de Aráiz is Masaveu Bodegas’ most creative and innovative project since its foundation in 2003. It incorporates management and control systems both for the vineyards and for the winemaking processes in the winery and laboratory: satellite monitoring of the vineyards, weather stations, self-emptying steel tanks with automatic pumping, temperature and humidity control, etc. These systems place Pagos de Araiz at the forefront of technology and allow it to adequately respect both sustainability and the environment.
