The Estate

Viña Real is one of Rioja’s classic producers, founded in the early 20th century and closely associated with the historic CVNE group. Based in Rioja Alta, the winery is known for producing structured, age-worthy wines that balance tradition with precision. The Gran Reserva represents the pinnacle of the house style, crafted only in exceptional vintages.

Wine Making

Grapes are sourced from high-quality vineyards in Rioja Alta, known for producing wines with freshness and structure. Fermentation is followed by extended aging in American and French oak barrels, meeting Gran Reserva requirements, and additional bottle aging before release. This prolonged maturation develops complexity while softening tannins. The approach emphasizes longevity, balance, and classic Rioja character.

Food Suggestions

This Gran Reserva pairs exceptionally well with roasted lamb, beef, and game dishes. Its savory depth also complements mushroom-based recipes, aged cheeses, and cured meats. An excellent choice for slow-cooked dishes and refined, traditional cuisine.
