The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
A classic from the Principe de Viana estate. This winery is the driving force behind this successful red wine from Spain. Principe de Viana was only founded in 1983, quite late in a wine country where some wineries have been around for centuries. However, they haven't been sitting idle in forty years. Although Principe de Viana's base is Navarra, the northern Spanish province, it now also has vineyards in other renowned Spanish wine regions.
This red wine originates about a two-hour drive from the original winery. The magnificent vineyards for Clunia Tempranillo are located in Castilla y León, in the province of Burgos. At an altitude of no less than 1,000 meters above sea level, you'll find magnificent vines laden with Tempranillo grapes. The altitude of the vineyards causes significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, something the grapes for Clunia Tempranillo appreciate.
After the harvest, the full bunches of Tempranillo grapes are rigorously selected. After all, only the finest specimens are allowed to be incorporated into this fantastic red wine. After fermentation, the juice is aged for a full 12 months in French oak. This process truly reveals the power and temperament of the Tempranillo grape. Pour the wine and you'll know exactly what's going on. Powerful aromas of ripe red fruit, plums, and blackcurrant create a wonderful base. But let your nose do the talking and swirl the Clunia Tempranillo generously in your glass. You'll smell pleasant vanilla, sultry spices, a touch of cocoa, balsamic, and a hint of eucalyptus. The oak aging has done its part for this Clunia Tempranillo.
