An old school Viura that ages in neutral barrels and has a small percentage of Palomino aged under flor (like a Manzanilla Sherry). A unique, delicious wine.

CVNE — shorthand for Compañia Vinicola del Norte de España — has been a source of traditional Rioja for nearly a century and a half, and while Rioja is best known for its reds, its rarer white wines are what we use to assess a producer's potential.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 89
"There are two versions of the dry white, the young, fresh and fruit-driven 2018 Monopole and another one they call "clásico," which is released later and has some Manzanilla de Sanlúcar added to it. This fruity white is also floral and light and was produced with Viura (a.k.a. Macabeo) grapes that fermented in stainless steel at low temperature with dry yeasts to keep the primary aromas. It's from a fresh year with less ripeness and alcohol (perhaps more noticeable in the reds), and this continues with the profile of previous years. The source of the grapes is quite stable, so variations are due to the climate of the year. 400,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2018." -Robert Parker
