Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant Gran Reserva Rioja from one of the most famous estates.
The lowdown:
Grown from low yielding bush vines and hand harvested with only the best quality fruit being used is a key element in the making of this. It spends 4 years in French and American oak before bottling during which time it's bottled aged for a further three years. All this results in a wonderfully well structured wine, with dark berry fruits, mocha and cinnamon all in evidence. Almost sweet caramel and vanilla notes combine with plum and damson fruit on the delicious finish.
The Producer:
Founded in 1879, CVNE, or 'Compañia Vinicola del Norte de España', has become a cornerstone of Spanish winemaking. Still based in Haro, where it all began, this family-run winery has maintained its roots while growing into one of Spains largest vineyard owners. Known for their exceptional Rioja, they produce under several labels: 'Cune', 'Imperial', 'Viña Real', and 'Contino'. And their wines are a byword for tradition and quality.
When to drink:
The classic Rioja food matches of game or roasted meats suit it admirably.
