CVNE is one of the oldest and most respected wine producers in Spain, with a history that spans well over a century. Viña Real, one of CVNE’s signature labels, was introduced in the 1920s, highlighting the vineyards in the Rioja Alavesa region.

Vina Real Gran Reserva is produced only in the most exceptional years from the best blend of Tempranillo and Graciano grapes, hand harvested from vineyards located in the villages of Laguardia and Elciego (Alava). It is aged for a minimum of 24 months in French and American oak casks and then refined into the bottle for several years before its release

“This is a young but excellent gran reserva, so it’s gritty-smelling in its youth, with aromas of blackberry and cassis. Racy acidity pushes the focus on the palate towards the upper tier, while flavors of lactic oak, lemon peel, tobacco and mocha share the stage with plum and berry fruit. Finishing flavours of vanilla and raw oak are supported by good acidity and just enough pulp. Drink through 2030”. 92 Points – Wine Enthusiast

Given its rich profile and complexity, the Viña Real Gran Reserva is versatile when it comes to food pairing, enhancing dishes with robust flavors. Traditional Spanish cuisine, such as grilled lamb chops (chuletillas), chorizo-based stews, or Rioja-style pork pairs splendidly. The wine’s acidity and tannic structure also complement grilled steaks, roasted game meats, and aged Manchego cheese
