It shows an intense ruby red color and offers a complex nose of blackberries, cherries, and strawberries, layered with subtle hints of licorice, vanilla, anise, and dried flowers from oak aging. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture, balanced acidity, and refined tannins, finishing with lingering fruit and a touch of spice.

The Estate

CVNE is one of the most important wine producers of Spain, on account of its illustrious history, and its omnipresence in the contemporary Spanish wine scene. Founded by the Real de Asua brothers in 1879, it remains family-owned and family-run, with the latest generation committed more than ever to making a great wine in meaningful quantities. The 3 company wineries perfectly symbolize the 3 principles that have always characterized the CVNE philosophy: the respect for heritage evident at the historic Haro bodegas; the embrace of new technology and innovation in the James Bond-inspired Viña Real facility; and the valorization of terroir that is Contino, Rioja’s most magical vineyard site transformed into truly magical wines.

Wine Making

Cune Rioja Reserva, primarily made from Tempranillo with small amounts of Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo, is a classic expression of Rioja aging tradition. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by 18 months of aging in French and American oak barrels and an additional 12 months in the bottle before release.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with grilled meats like steak or lamb chops, roasted or braised dishes, Spanish tapas such as chorizo and Manchego cheese, hearty beef or venison stews, and pasta with rich tomato-based sauces, enhancing the overall dining experience.
