CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva Magnum 2012

HED23274 150cl 14%
`CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva 2012 is a full-bodied red wine from the Rioja region of Spain. Produced only in exceptional vintages from CVNE`s best Rioja Alta vineyards, this Gran Reserva is the pinnacle of the winery`s output. Rigorous hand-sorting of grapes is followed by fermentation in oak vats. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 24 months in new French and American oak barrels, with racking every eight months, with a further 36 months of bottle ageing in CVNE`s 100-year-old cellars before release. "“The wine that represents the traditional and serious reds from Haro, the 2012 Imperial Gran Reserva is a classical blend of Tempranillo with 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo that matured in barrel for two years. It has a textbook serious Haro nose, with dark spices, ripe fruit, something balsamic and a round, full-bodied palate within the straight and serious style of the wine. 2012 was a warm year, but the wines are fresher than those from 2011. This has fine, slightly grainy tannins with good grip.” Wine Advocate, 2019

CVNE

CVNE

CVNE is a family-run company, founded in March 1879 in Haro, Rioja by Eusebio and Raimundo Real de Asúa. The Real de Asúa brothers’ aim was to capitalise on the flourishing new trade in wine and over 140 years later CVNE is still under the stewardship of the direct descendants of the founding family, now in its fifth generation.

Wines produced under the CVNE label include "Cune" a label inspired by an early mis-spelling of the CVNE name; "Monopole", a superb white Rioja; "Corona", a rare sweet white produced using grapes affected by noble rot; "Real de Asúa", a sister wine to the famous Imperial range; "Vina Real", premium red and white Rioja produced from grapes sourced in the Alavesa sub-region; "Pagos de Viña Real", CVNE's top tier Rioja first released in 2001; and "Contino", a Rioja produced using grapes sourced exclusively from a 62 hectare estate near Laserna.
