Bodegas Muñana

Bodegas Muñana is one of the commercial wineries with its own vineyard at the highest altitude in Europe, located in the north of Granada, Spain. With a property size of 200 hectares, this winery not only focuses on wine production but also cultivates more than 70 hectares of pistachios and pecans, making it one of the largest nut producers in Spain.

History and Tradition

The name "Muñana" comes from the Arabic word "munyana," meaning "place of rest." This toponym was often used for places situated in elevated areas, where travelers could rest and enjoy the views. The history of Bodegas Muñana dates back to ancient times, in a region where the Romans were already producing wine over two thousand years ago. It is likely that the vineyards of Muñana were a resting place for travelers passing through the area. Within the estate where the vineyards now grow, there existed an ancient village called Muñana, inhabited by Moriscos until their expulsion in 1570.

Environment

The vineyards of Bodegas Muñana are located at an altitude of 1,100 to 1,200 meters above sea level, in a privileged natural setting. These conditions create a significant temperature variation between day and night, with a difference of up to 20 ºC, which favors the slow and natural ripening of the grapes. The irrigation water comes from the meltwater of Sierra Nevada, giving the grapes a special and unique character.

Grape Varieties

At Bodegas Muñana, the main grape varieties grown are the red varieties Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, and the white varieties Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are hand-harvested and taken to the winery for elaboration. Additionally, other varieties such as Petit Verdot, Monastrell, and Moscatel are also cultivated. These Granada wines stand out for their quality and unique character, reflecting the richness of the region's terroir.

Winemaking Process

The winemaking process at Muñana is carried out with the utmost attention to detail. The aging of the wines takes place in natural cave galleries, more than 30 meters deep, providing ideal conditions of temperature and humidity. The latest creation from the winery, Delirio, includes three varieties worthy of the best wineries in Andalusia. Bodegas Muñana is known for its continuous innovation and improvement in the winemaking process, making it a truly special winery.
