About

CUNE (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) has been making Rioja since 1879. Reserva spends three years in cellar before release — cherry, leather, vanilla, the classic Rioja profile.

CUNE grows this Reserva around the villages of Rodezno, Villalba and Haro in Rioja Alta. The vineyards sit between 500 and 600 metres on clay-limestone soils, high ground by Spanish standards.

Tempranillo leads the blend, with small amounts of Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo in support. The wine spends 18 months in a mix of American and French oak barrels, then rests more than a year in bottle before release.

That patient schedule means the work is already done for you. Open it tonight beside roast lamb, a Sunday roast or a chunk of hard cheese. No decanter needed, no cellar required. It is the kind of red you keep in the house for good dinners at short notice.

Producer note

CUNE (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) was founded in 1879.
