About Winery and Wines

Bodegas Muñana is one of the commercial estate wineries with its own vineyard at the highest altitude in Europe. Bodegas Muñana has a long history and tradition. Located in the north of Granada (Spain), Bodegas Muñana maintains the tradition of a land in which the Romans made wine two thousand years ago. The term Muñana derives from the Arabic-Spanish word “al munya”, which means a “desire”. Another definition is “country house, surrounded by lush gardens and land for cultivation”. The village of Muñana used to be located right within the current vineyards. Its inhabitants, the “Moriscos”, were expelled in 1610 by the Spanish King Felipe III. The Peñas Prietas Estate covers about 180 hectars and reaches upto 1.200 meters above sea level. ​

Our location, bordering the Sierra Nevada National Park and close to the Mediterranean sea creates very special climatic conditions, which allow the cultivation of a significant number of grape varieties, superior to other geographical areas. The high altitude and temperature range between night and day, the low incidence of pests, more sunny days and lower environmental humidity produce a slow and natural maturation, causing the plant to develop in better conditions than in other latitudes. The impediment of the terrain itself with steep slopes obliges us to make a direct selection in the vineyard that allows us to pick the bunches with optimum maturity and an impeccable sanitary condition. We do not use boxes of more than 15kg of capacity to avoid any process of mosteo and therefore of oxidation during the transport. Conserving 100% the virtues of our fruit.
