Description

A Rioja wine blending intensity and refinement

The estate

The history of CVNE or Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España began in 1879. This family winery was founded by two brothers in the Haro train station area of the Rioja region in Spain. The company's strategic location enabled them to successfully market the bodega's wines and facilitated the transport of wine barrels and bottling. Since then, the fifth generation has continued the drive forward the family legacy. The company has now become one of Spain's leading wine groups.

CVNE reigns over a vineyard of 545 hectares that spread over the exceptional terroirs of La Rioja Alta and La Rioja Alavesa.

The vineyard

CVNE's 2018 Cvne Reserva is a Rioja wine made from the Caballeros, Santo Tomás and Sarnamoros vineyards in the villages of Rodezno, Villalba and Haro in Rioja Alta.

The vines are 20 to 25 years old on average and are planted at an altitude of 500 to 600 metres on predominantly clay-limestone soils.

Vinification and ageing

The hand-picked grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation along with pumping over, delestage and punching down. Hot maceration, total vatting time of 18 days. Malolactic fermentation. Initial 24-month ageing period in barrels before bottling, followed by a further 12 months of ageing before being released.

The vintage

A winter marked by frost, snow and heavy rainfall preceded a cold and wet spring. The hot summer without heatwaves favourd a gradual and optimal ripening of the grapes.

The blend

Tempranillo (85%)

Grenache (15%) supplemented by Graciano and Mazuelo, typical Rioja grape varieties.
