CVNE, Viña Real Reserva Especial, Rioja, Spain, 1952

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
The CVNE VINA REAL Reserva Rioja 1952 offers a compelling sensory experience with its distinctive blend of ripe fruit and spicy undertones. Its seductive bouquet features intense aromas of plums, cherries and blackberries, interwoven with refined hints of vanilla, cloves and liquorice from its extended barrel ageing. On the palate, expect an elegant balance between well-rounded tannins and a satisfying persistence of flavours, revealing traditional Rioja earthiness overlaid with mature fruit. This wine's accomplished structure suggests potential for further ageing, although it's invitingly accessible now. Best served with robust dishes like game, red meats, and mature cheeses.
