The
name Príncipe de Viana comes from the 15th century, when the king Carlos
III of the ancient kingdom of Navarra bestowed this title on his newborn son.
Nowadays, the title is still in force in the figure of the Spanish prince.
Since 1983, one of the most prestigious wineries in Navarra D.O. carries this
name and produces high quality wines under that appellation. Recently, Príncipe
de Viana has gone beyond Navarra boundaries to add some other appellations to
its portfolio. This is the case of this Entrefores -"among flowers" in Spanish-, a light and fresh 100% Verdejo from Rueda
D.O. It is an excellent pairing for salads, pasta and rice dishes, as well as
fish and seafood.
Vintage tasted: 2012 (March 2013)
