J. Chivite Family Estates
Description
Data of interest
It is impossible to talk about Navarre wine without mentioning Chivite, the quintessential winery of Navarra and an icon of family tradition. The origins of J. Chivite Family Estates date back to 1647. Since then, this family lineage has been dedicated to winemaking, becoming one of the most important wineries in the country.
Chivite sources its grapes from the 103 hectares of vineyards at Finca Legardeta, located in Villatuerta, in a transitional area between the Pyrenees and the Ebro River Basin, at an average altitude of 450 m. A very undulating estate, divided into plots with different orientations and soil compositions, which provides the winery with great versatility in winemaking.
Chivite has been a pioneering winery in several aspects: it was one of Spain's first exporters, in 1860, when Claudio Chivite began selling wine to Bordeaux. It was also one of Spain's first bottlers: the year was 1956. In 1985, to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the first export to Bordeaux, Chivite launched the wine 125 Aniversario Gran Vino 1981, the origin of its renowned Colección 125 range.
In 2017, the Grupo Peralada acquired the Chivite Group, which includes this winery of the same name, along with Bodegas Gran Feudo and Viña Salceda. Julián Chivite López, the eleventh generation of the family, remains connected to the winery, serving as President.
