✨ Tekniske specifikationer
First released in the 1920s, CVNE's Viña Real label pays homage to the ancient Camino Real, a historic royal road that once bordered the vineyards of Rioja Alavesa. Unlike its sibling label Imperial, which is rooted in Rioja Alta, Viña Real is the definitive expression of Rioja Alavesa's distinct terroir. Here, sheltered by the towering Sierra de Cantabria, vineyards thrive in calcium-rich clay soils. This Reserva is predominantly crafted from Tempranillo, rounded out with small portions of Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo. The wine is aged for approximately 22 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels inside CVNE's architecturally stunning, gravity-fed winery in Laguardia, resulting in a seamless harmony of rich dark fruit, refined tannins, and elegant wood spice.
