Vina Real Crianza Rioja 750ml

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Viña Real Crianza Rioja 750ml wraps your senses in a tapestry of ripe red cherries, subtle vanilla, and a whisper of toasted oak, instantly transporting you to the sun-drenched hillsides of Spain. Crafted from Tempranillo grapes with a touch of Garnacha and Mazuelo, this Spanish red balances vibrant fruit with earthy undertones and silky tannins that linger gracefully on the palate. With an alcohol by volume of 13.50%, it’s robust enough to stand up to roasted lamb yet nuanced enough to elevate the nutty complexity of Manchego cheese. Each glass is a celebration of Rioja’s heritage, inviting you to savor both tradition and flavor in every pour.

Producer Information: CVNE (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)

CVNE, or Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España, was established in 1879 in the heart of Haro’s historic Barrio de la Estación in Rioja Alta, a region celebrated for its ideal climate and soils for Tempranillo and other native grape varieties. Founded by the Real de Asúa brothers, CVNE has maintained a family-driven approach that blends traditional winemaking with innovative techniques such as gravity-fed cellars and pioneering use of concrete fermentation vats. Their philosophy centers on expressing the unique terroir of Rioja through careful vineyard selection and minimal intervention. Beyond their flagship Imperial label, CVNE crafts Monopole—Spain’s oldest white wine brand—and produces Viña Real and Contino wines from distinct subzones within Rioja, each reflecting specific microclimates and soil compositions that highlight the diversity of this storied Spanish appellation.
