WINE DESCRIPTION

Cune Reserva is a premium red wine produced by Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (CVNE), a renowned winery located in the Rioja appellation of Spain. The grapes used to make this wine are sourced from the winery's own vineyards, which are situated in the heart of Rioja Alta. The vineyards are characterized by their high altitude, which results in cooler temperatures and longer growing seasons, allowing the grapes to develop complex flavors and aromas. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including aging in oak barrels for 24 months, resulting in a wine with a rich and complex flavor profile. Cune Reserva is a classic Rioja wine, known for its balance of fruit, oak, and tannins, making it a perfect pairing for a wide range of dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Cune Reserva is an incredibly complex, full-bodied red blend.The nose is filled with aromas of dark fruits, leather, spice, and a hint of roasted coffee. On the palate, the wine is intense and powerful, with ripe tannins and a long, lingering finish. The finish is full of flavors of dark plums, blackberries, and a subtle smokiness. This is an excellent wine that will continue to develop and improve with age.
