Emilio Clemente Wineries was born of the desire of the Clemente Lujan family to produce quality wines from its own vineyards situated on the Finca Caballero (2000 hectares, 74 of which are vineyards) at the natural surroundings of Cabriel, a true reflection of the Mediterranean countryside. SHORT HISTORY OF
THE WINERY The winery, located in Requena in a valley of vineyards crossed by the River Magro, accommodates a modernist-style manor house dating from the end of the 19th century surrounded by a pinewood forest and vineyards. In the second building, an annex to the house, the new manufacturing plants were set up, designed according to a practical concept for better treatment of wine and applying the new technologies to traditional know-how, thereby creating a designer winery combined with great human value, the Emilio Clemente Wineries team.
Florante is a fusion of modernity (Chardonnay
and Sauvignon Blanc) and tradition (Tardana). It is a white wine fermented in barrels, with blends of three grape varieties including Tardana, a local white vine variety from Utiel-Requena, a very rustic stock which is resistant to disease (mildew and root rot). When well matured FLORANTE provides us with an aromatic, balanced dry wine with excellent acidity.
Florante It is made using selected mature grapes, fermented in Bordelese barrels especially designed and manufactured for the fermentation of white wines. These are the famous of the Allier and Never oaks with light brown, clear staves, in this way FLORANTE has achieved a smooth bouquet and an elegant harmony. Bottled in the first days of May. A white gold colour, clear, crystalline, with irridescent flickers. A fragrant aroma and the scent of crystallised fruit and a smooth, almondy taste. A soft, glycerinous texture. Its aftertaste is smooth and elegant, resulting in a scented, harmonious wine.

Peñas Negras YOUNG Young PEÑAS NEGRAS is made from grapes
from the vineyards of our Finca Caballero, situated in the valley of Cabriel and enclosed by the mountains of Monterilla and the impressive Peñas Negras (from where this wine takes its name). This is the last estate before leaving the Valencia Region as it borders Cabriel and on the other side is Castilla-La Mancha.
OAK AGED PEÑAS NEGRAS is a red wine of 2004 vintage, made of the grape varieties Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These grapes belong to the parcels El Soto, El Hornillo and El Cantorral, very near the River Cabriel which winds through the various parcels of these olive groves situated at our Caballero Estate.
Peñas Negras OAK AGED
Young PEÑAS NEGRAS is made from Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. It is a dark cherry red colour with a violet tinge to it and at first scent there seems to be a hint of liquorice, quickly blending with a suggestion of wild black fruit, pleasant to the palate with a smooth, fruity tannin and revealing an elegance which is unusual in young wines, being both tasty and balanced.
Barrel-matured PEÑAS NEGRAS 2004 is a red wine matured for five months in new French oak barrels (Alliers and Nevers) from the oak groves in the centre of France. It is noted for its balanced sensation of freshness and maturity. It is a bright, cherry red colour and its aroma of fresh fruit, plums and forest fruits, blueberries and blackcurrants is finely balanced with the bouquet of noble soft wood, lending it a certain smoothness.

Emilio Clemente CRIANZA
Endowed with a ruby red colour and brickred irridescence, interesting mineral aromas come to light, counterpointed by a hint of smoke and dry flowers (shades of lavender) on a base of mature fruit. To the palate it is full-bodied with lively acidity. Its aftertaste is greatly reminiscent of fruit in liquor, a bouquet which remains with great vitality. 5th Consumers Special Award at Malaga Wine Fair 2008
