Príncipe de Viana Edición Rosa (2017) - "Juicy flavors of cherry, berry and watermelon mingle with leafy and spicy accents in this lively rosé. Shows enough body and grip for food, with plenty of fresh acidity. Exuberant. Garnacha. "

Príncipe de Viana Edición Rosa (2016) - "This red grapefruit colored 100% Grenache based Rose has a nice shy bouquet of strawberries, red berries and light pink grapefruit. Light in body, crisp and round, the palate is very fruity and includes strawberries, fruit juice, light guava and nice acidity. This Rosa had a nice dry finish and I would pair it with grilled scallops. "

BODEGAS PRíNCIPE DE VIANA WINERY INFO
Overview: 1200 acres of old vines are managed under contract throughout the region. In 2003, over one thousand additional acres of estate vineyards were established on a rolling chalky-stony plateau at the confluence of the Aragón and Ebro Rivers. Primary grape varieties, sustainably grown, are Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Graciano and Garnacha. Soils are mainly chalky clay and alluvial deposit, the climate an intermittent interplay of Atlantic, Mediterranean and Continental. Persistent "Cierzo" winds responsible for the adjacent Bardenas Desert Natural Park effectively minimize plant disease.

History: Bodegas Príncipe de Viana was created in 1983 as a banner project of Caja Rural de Navarra, an agricultural lending institution founded to provide financial assistance for the sustainable development of Navarra's important farming sector. Reflecting wine's nobility among agricultural products, the project takes its name from an historic Navarran title of Spanish royal succession dating to 1423.
