Enate Winery. An icon of Somontano Aragonés
The birth of the winery
Wine and Art. This principle has built the entire philosophy, winery and team that makes up Bodega Enate to become one of the largest wineries in Aragón and Somontano.
In 1992, the Enate project began with the construction of the building, the work of the Madrilenian architect Jesús Manzanares, which was finally inaugurated in two phases, the first in 1993 and the second in 1997.
The award-winning architect's work contained tunnels, warm lights and pleasant materials. This concept was carried out in such a way thanks to the inspiration of Somontano, a region characterised by its luminosity, naturalness and its spaces.
The vineyards and the winery
Enate owns 450 hectares of vineyards. A size that allows the winery to focus on quality and to give a level of detail and precision to its grapes that is millimetric.
The production of Enate wine is based on the low productivity of its vines, in order to get the most out of them, the use of organic viticulture, with the intention of achieving a better environment and precision viticulture, with all the modern methodologies aimed at controlling the vineyard to the maximum.
The wine and the Art reflected in its labels
Enate and Art have a very special union that ends up materialising in the wine labels themselves.
Their labels and artistic collection can be visited on the Bodega's own labels.
All the labels of the different models of Enate bottles have been made by famous artists such as Alberto Carrera, Antonio Saura or Pepe Cerdá.
The complete list of their artists, as well as links to see their works can be found here:

Enate's most representative wines
At every winery we find wines that are the most popular and sought-after, and Bodegas Enate is no exception.
However, at this winery, their most popular wines are not necessarily the most expensive ones. On the contrary, many of their best wines are in the mid-range that we can all taste. Let's take a look at them!
Born in the heart of Somontano, Enate 234 is the living example of a fruity white wine from the Pyrenees.
A faithful candidate for best white wine under €10, it is a very easy to drink wine, with a syrupy taste and with a drinking temperature not too cold, between 10º and 12ºC.
We recommend pairing it with pasta, seafood, white fish or having it as an appetizer or with a rice dish.
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is a TOP Sales in the Somontano section thanks to its elegant, floral palate (with violet tones) and its hints of pepper, vanilla and undergrowth.
A magnificent wine to enjoy on a day-to-day basis.
We recommend drinking it with a good dish with meat sauce or with a meaty rice dish.
Enate Crianza is abroad-spectrum, easy-drinking red that shows the magnificent work the winery does with both indigenous and foreign grapes.
It is made with the queen variety of the Spanish vineyard: Tempranillo (the majority); and the most desired red grape in the world: Cabernet Sauvignon, of Gallic origin.
A 9-month ageing in American (Tempranillo) and French (Cabernet Sauvignon) oak barrels followed by a long period in bottle rounds off a wine that is already a classic Somontano wine.
We recommend drinking it with grilled lamb chops.
The Enate Merlot Merlot wine is a single varietal wine made from Merlot grapes and aged for 14 months in French oak barrels
Avery serious wine, a perfect representation of ENATE's Merlot-Merlot line.
It presents a wide and complex aromatic range in which memories of red fruits, balsamic and spicy notes are harmoniously combined.
We recommend pairing it with stews, red meats or with big game.
