About this Wine
The winemaking tradition at Bodegas Urbina dates back to as early as 1870. It is a family-owned wine estate that has been very particular about growing exceptional quality of grapes for more than a century now. The grapes for the Bodegas Urbina wine brand are cultivated on the vineyards of Cuzcurrita del Rio’ Tiron, located towards the northwestern part of DOC Rioja in Spain. The Rioja Alta region of Spain, where these vineyards are located, is known to cultivate grapes known for their distinct flavour and character.

With over 75 hectares of vineyards under their ownership, the Urbina family is known to produce wines that are intense and quite long-lasting as well. The Urbina family focuses mostly on red wine production, though white wine is also produced in small numbers in the winery here. Close to 400000 bottles of the red variety (Red Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva) and about 50000 bottles of the White and Rose varieties are produced here.

High-density planting techniques and traditional harvesting methods are a few major reasons for the natural colour and character that the fruits grown here are known for. The viticulture experts at the Bodegas Urbina vineyards are very particular about using organic fertilizers to get rid of pests and weeds. The soil quality is not disturbed at all throughout the harvesting process, which explains the intense flavour and aroma of the fruits.

Once the grapes are hand-crushed gently, they are fermented using natural and indigenous yeasts to give a distinct character to the wines. The growth of the vines is monitored on a regular basis to ensure that the yield doesn’t cross 4500kgrs per hectare at any point of time. This low-yield monitoring system also helps the vines to absorb the natural climatic conditions well to produce good quality of fruits.

Wines of Spain

With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.

The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.

In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.

Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.

Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
