Bodegas Muñana breathes history and tradition. Located in the north of Granada, it maintains the tradition of a land where the Romans made wine two thousand years ago.


The term Muñana probably derives from the Arabic-Hispanic word "al munya" (orchard or farm), and this in turn from the classical Arabic "al-munyah" (desire). This word originally designated an orchard or a country house, surrounded by gardens and land for cultivation.


Within the domains of the estate where the vineyards now grow, there was an old town called Muñana inhabited by Moors, which after their expulsion in 1610 remained depopulated.


The Peñas Prietas Estate, where Muñana's wines are produced, extends over 180 ha (hectares). Peñas Prietas appeared as "Piedras Prietas" in various documents around 1845-1850, the time when brandy was manufactured. We deduce from these data that there are vineyards on the estate even before the expulsion of the Moors.


Our location, bordering the Sierra Nevada National Park and close to the Mediterranean, creates very special climatic conditions, which allow the cultivation of a significant number of grape varieties, superior to that of other geographical areas.
