Vía Cénit 2020

Vía Cénit is an intriguingly complex and elegant wine, rich in nuances.

With this wine, Viñas del Cénit offers a broader and more detailed vision of the history of the DO Tierra del Vino de Zamora.

The Cénit Collection is ...

  • Classic Essence

    The wines of the Viñas del Cénit Classic Collection honor the identity of Tierra del Vino. With traditional winemaking, they stand out for their power and structure, essential elements that reflect the warmth of the region while preserving the authenticity of the terroir.

  • The hallmark
    of a winemaking
    region

    In the old vineyards of Tierra del Vino de Zamora, in addition to the ever-present Tempranillo, we also find white varieties such as Doña Blanca, Verdejo, Godello, Albillo, and Palomino, which we use to craft white wines that reveal the fuller, more complex identity of this winemaking region.

  • Power and balance

    Harvesting time for each plot is carefully chosen to ensure optimum ripeness while preserving the wines’ natural freshness and acidity. A method that ensures a well-balanced structure, in which the fruit integrates harmoniously with the wood.

  • A subtle use of wood

    Viñas del Cénit uses wood in moderation – just enough to bring out the full character of the vines. The barrels soften the tannins and add complexity, without covering up the terroir’s character. The result is elegant, deep wines that remain true to their origins.
