Red Wine Cune Reserva 2019
Availability: In stock
A classic among classics, the wine Cune Reserva from La Rioja is crafted by one the oldest and most prestigious wineries of the region: the Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España, better known as CVNE or Cune, established in 1879 in the town of Haro, La Rioja's wine capital.
Made from 85% Tempranillo, this red wine from La Rioja is complemented with a 15% of Mazuela (aka Carignan), Graciano and Grenache.
After a meticulous selection process, the grapes were destemmed and cold macerated before fermenting in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature.
Then this Spanish red wine was transferred into French and American oak barrels, where it went through malolactic fermentation and was subsequently aged for 18 months.
Gently clarified, the wine Cune Reserva 2019 was then bottled and aged for a futher 24 months before its commercial release.
Decant this Reserva red wine 30 minutes before drinking.
Pair this vegan red wine with roasts and hearty stew recipes.
