Príncipe de Viana Garnacha Rosado (2012) - "Fresh strawberry and cherry on the nose. Good body and freshness with pure flavors of ripe red berries and bright
acidity. Finishes clean and very fresh with good red fruit extract. Well made."

Príncipe de Viana Garnacha Rosado (2012) - "Cherry, red berries and tangerine on the fragrant nose. Smooth, pliant and a bit jammy, with plump raspberry and cherry flavors and slow-building spiciness. Finishes with good length, leaving red berry notes behind."

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.
