✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (CVNE), a legendary winery founded in Haro in 1879 whose famous brand name 'Cune' famously arose from a simple clerical misspelling of its initials, this Cune Roble represents a modern, vibrant expression of Spanish Tempranillo. Sourced from the high-altitude, sun-drenched vineyards of Castilla y León, this wine benefits from a continental climate characterized by dramatic diurnal temperature swings, preserving a bright, energetic acidity. The term 'Roble' denotes a short period of oak aging—typically a few months in barrel—which rounds out the tannins and introduces subtle hints of vanilla and sweet spice without overshadowing the primary, juicy red fruit characteristics of cherry and blackberry. It is a testament to CVNE's ability to blend century-old winemaking heritage with a fresh, contemporary style.
