CVNE, Viña Real Reserva, Rioja, Spain, 1982

Overview of the Wine
Cvne, is situated in Rioja in the traditional neighborhood of the station, where the oldest wineries of Rioja Alta established themselves, for the main reason of transporting their goods to the port of Bilbao.

In 1879, two brothers decided to set up a business in the recently flourishing trade of the wine business. C.V.N.E., Compañía Vinicola del Norte de España (The Northern Spanish Wine Company) or la Cuné, as it is commonly known in Haro, was created. This cellar still reflects the origins of the company and is kept in the traditional neighborhood of the Haro station.

The Cune winery in Haro, is made up of a group of buildings, mostly from the 19th century and arranged around a courtyard surrounded by pavilions for the purpose of wine production, aging, and bottling.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
A wine of confidence and harmony, a testament to this great rioja vintage. Palate is velvet smooth, elegant and long with a weight of fruit, amazingly fresh still. A supple wine, beautiful in its calm and ease, beginning to develop a cedar and pencil lead sophistication. Without doubt a great wine, and at 19 years only now entering its mature prime.
