Since its establishment in 1983 when Principe de Viana was founded in Murchante, the company has embarked on a trajectory of remarkable success. In a mere span of 25 years, it has emerged as one of the foremost and most esteemed wineries in Navarra. Carlos III of Navarra, upon receiving news of his grandson Carlos' birth, expressed his immense joy by bestowing four thousand gold pieces upon the messenger.

Garnacha (Grenache Noir in France) is naturally at home in the warm and open vineyards of Navarra, where it has become the backbone of many wines. The Garnacha grapes for this light and crisp rosé were picked over several days to isolate the grapes best utilised for a rosé. The grapes were de-stemmed, and transferred into large steel tanks and fermented on skins at lukewarm temperatures for around 4 days, to attain the correct colour for the regions rules. (yes, they really do have a colour scale for rosé in Navarra). At this point the now pink juice is racked off to be fermented to dryness in a separate steel tank, whilst the remaining red grape skins and pulp are fermented to dryness and used as 'seasoning' for other red wines. The pink wine is then filtered and bottled early to preserve the freshness, peppery and yet crisp nature of the Garnacha grape.
