About this winery

Founded in 1879 by the brothers Eusebio and Raimundo Real de Asua, the Compañia Vinicola del Norte de España is one of the oldest estates in La Rioja. C.V.N.E. is located in Haro, in the traditional wine trade district, next to the train station. In this period when transport was not very advanced, there was a definite advantage in locating your cellar very close to a train station! By 1900, this company had more than 80,000 bottles intended for prolonged aging, which was rare at that time...

Product notes

The Cune Gran Reserva is made from grapes from the vineyards of Rioja Alta. This region is characterized by clay-limestone soils and a continental and Mediterranean climate. Manual harvest.

Production notes

The grapes of Cune Gran Reserva are destemmed and crushed. Aging takes place in American and French oak barrels for 24 months. The wine is then refined in the bottle for 36 months.

Tasting notes

Garnet color with brilliant intensity. Aromas of berries and liquorice complemented by spices, vanilla and a roasted touch. The palate is suave with silky tannins that lead to a lingering finish. Pairings with riojana patatas, veal kidneys and lamb.
