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...

Production notes

Sourced from their best plots in Rioja Alavesa. Aged for a minimum of 24 months in French and American oak barrels and a further 3 years in the bottle.

Tasting notes

Elegant nose with notes of spices and fine wood with a touch of ripe fruit and liquorice. Great structure and volume on the palate and well-balanced with the acidity and polished noble tannins.
