Product Notes

Bodegas Urbina Crianza is a red wine produced in Rioja, Spain. With an intense ruby color and aromas of red fruits, vanilla, and spices, this wine is a blend of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha, and 5% Graciano grapes. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels and a further 12 months in the bottle, Bodegas Urbina Crianza has a balanced structure and a long finish, making it an excellent pairing for grilled meats, stews, and mature cheeses. The vineyard, located in Cuzcurrita de Rio Tirón, has been family-owned and operated since 1870 and strives to produce high-quality, traditionally-made wines that reflect the unique terroir of Rioja.

About the Winery

Bodegas Urbina

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.
