                    Bodegas  Primicia started out in a medieval building in Laguardia.  
                  The  Madrid Castaneda brothers founded this winery in 1985, after a long family  tradition of vine-growing. At the Vinexpo International Wine Challenge in Bordeaux, they were  awarded the first prize, the Grand Prix D'honneur, for their Vina Diezmo 87  Reserve.  
                  Spurred  on by this success, Bodegas Primicia placed more emphasis on their cellar of  new casks over the following years and have specialised in high quality wines  while improving their installations. 
                  Primicia Rose is made using only  the first must of Grenache grapes. 
                  This variety produces wines of  good alcohol, usually with a scented nose. It is the dominant grape of southern  France, playing an important  part in making the wines of Cotes du Rhone, Provence and Languedoc-Rousillon.

                  Aroma of red fruits, raspberry  and strawberry, direct and powerful.
