The CVNE winery is one of the most iconic in Rioja. Founded in 1879, it's now in its third generation of family ownership. This classic Gran Reserva is made under their ever-popular Cune brand. The team use grapes from old vines45 years old, on averagewhich ensures the flavours are superbly concentrated. Its aged for two years in oak, then spends at least three years in CVNEs cellars to really dial up the complexity. Expect flavours of black fruits, spice and leather, with subtle vanilla notes and firm tannins. The wine will continue to develop in the bottle, but if you cant wait to try it, its richness and structure are a perfect match for stews and casseroles.
