The winery "Bodegas Julián Chivite" is located in the municipality of Cintruénigo in the Spanish region or DO area of Navarra. A notarial deed dated 26 August 1647 shows that the ancestor María Rubio, widow of Joseph de Chivite, was already making wine. At that time, the business was still a stagecoach station. It took on its present form in 1860. Since the death of Julián Chivite Marco (1910-1997), the estate, which is still owned by the family, has been managed by his children Julián jun., Carlos, Fernando and Mercedes Chivite. The vineyards cover a total of 550 hectares in Aberin, Marcilla and Cintruénigo. They are planted with the red wine varieties Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the white wine varieties Viura (Macabeo), Moscatel de Grano Menudo (Muscat Blanc) and Chardonnay.

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
