✨ Technical Specifications
Viña Real, a landmark brand created by the historic CVNE in the 1920s, represents a harmonious blend of Rioja Alavesa's rich winemaking heritage and modern innovation. This elegant white wine is crafted predominantly from the indigenous Viura grape, grown in the clay-limestone soils of Rioja Alavesa, where the Atlantic climate brings essential acidity and freshness. Historically, CVNE has been a pioneer in gravity-flow winery design, and this wine benefits from that legacy of gentle handling. To create its signature style, the must is fermented in new French oak casks and aged on its fine lees. This technique beautifully marries the vibrant, citrusy, and floral nature of Viura with a rich, creamy texture and subtle notes of toasted brioche, vanilla, and sweet spice, showcasing a sophisticated and structured side of white Rioja.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1879 by brothers Raimundo and Eusebio Real de Asúa, the Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (CVNE) is one of Rioja's foundational and most prestigious historic bodegas, headquartered in the iconic Barrio de la Estación in Haro, Spain. Still under the stewardship of the founding family's descendants, CVNE harmoniously bridges traditional winemaking heritage with pioneering technical innovation across its distinct estates and cellars. The estate is celebrated for crafting world-renowned, age-worthy wines characterized by elegance, structure, and balance, predominantly driven by Tempranillo and native Riojan varieties. Among its celebrated portfolio are legendary classic benchmarks such as Imperial, Viña Real, and the single-estate icon Viñedos del Contino.
