CVNE dates back to 1879 and the birth of oft described traditional style of Rioja. The Gran Reserva, aged at minimum 5 years with 2 in barrel before release, is still remarkably young despite the long elevage. It has decades of life yet come.

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 95
"The extremely affordable 2016 Viña Real Gran Reserva Especial recovers the "Especial" mention from the old Reserva Especial vintages from a very good year. It's a classical Rioja Alavesa blend of 95% Tempranillo with 5% Graciano from their own vineyards. It's open and expressive, with notes of berries, fresh blood and iron, orange peel and sweet spices with the oak still present and in need of some more time in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied and feels lean and serious, with abundant chalky tannins. This should be a classical vintage of this wine in the making. It matured in barrel for two years and no less than three in bottle" -Robert Parker

Wine Spectator

WS 91
"An enticing red, with a pure note of ripe wild cherry fruit that's bright and lively, layered with supple tannins and a fragrant range of anise, loamy earth and stemmy herbs. Lightly chalky on the finish. Tempranillo and Graciano."
