C.V.N.E.
In the late 1980s the firm built a spanking new stainless steel winery in the town of Haro and is now producing thoroughly "modern" style Riojas. Both red and whites are produced and their white Rioja is one of the few remaining heavily-oaked examples on the market today.
The 2 different ranges, the Vina Real and Imperial, are rich, full-bodied Riojas, with the Reservas and Grand Reservas being some of the most long-lived in the region today.

Viña Real is usually seen as the Burgundy to Imperial’s Bordeaux, evidenced aesthetically by the shape of the bottle and, more profoundly, by gustatory differences relating to tannic structure and provenance of fruit. The majority of the fruit for Viña Real comes from Rioja ... MORE |

From the increasingly appreciated 2004 vintage, this is a very fine Imperial Reserva. Made from 80% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 10% Mazuelo and aged for 24 months in new French and American oak, this has a plumy regal colour and an impressive nose with notes of fig, balsam and earth already ...

From the legendary 2001 vintage, this is a wine of encyclopaedic merit, its claret-like structure belied by an almost Burgundian elegance, its warmth of expression balanced by a finely etched, adamantine poise. (Simon Field MW , BBR Buyer) |

Old school Rioja can vary tremendously; there is a fine line between the sublime and the ridiculous and the bad ones can be very bad indeed. This is one of the very best and a firm favourite chez moi. |

The flagship from Contino is invariably one of the top wines in all of Spain and the 2007 is no exception. Located near Logrono in La Rioja Alavesa, the vineyard is etched with serpentine assurance around a curve in the River Ebro. At its heart lies the eponymous ... MORE |

It is something of a simplification to summarise CVNE’s strategic aspiration for Viña Real to be Burgundian in style and Viña Imperial to be more like a Bordeaux, yet it is clearly not entirely without foundation, judging by the charm of this 1999 and its almost Pinot-like ... MORE |
