Product Description
Details

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.

Additional Information
Appearance

The red wine Cune Reserva is medium ruby with some maroon tinges.

Nose

This blend of Tempranillo, Mazuela, Grenache and Graciano has a textbook Rioja nose. Cranberries and raspberries, with aromas of vanilla, toffee and coco, coming from the aging in wood.

Palate

Smooth and well balanced, this wine from Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (CVNE) has a solid structure, silky tannins and a crisp acidity. Long finish, with some balsamic remembrances, and hints of tobacco leaves and wet undergrowth.

Our personal opinion

The delightful wine Cune Reserva 2019 will make an excellent pairing with cured meats and casseroles. A stunning value indeed.
