CVNE Family Cellar Release: rare vintages back to 1976

CVNE, founded in 1879 and one of the oldest bodegas in Rioja, is a producer we rate very highly. When they released small volumes of library stock  in their family cellar release last month, we therefore snapped them up. Four excellent vintages of their flagship wine, Imperial Gran Reserva are on their way to us: 1976, 1988, 2004 and 2009.

Imperial Gran Reserva is the top wine from CVNE, only made in the best vintages. The grapes come from the bodega’s highest performing vineyards in Rioja Alta. The blend is dominated by Tempranillo, with small proportions of Graciano and Mazuelo too. Maturation is for 24 months in a mixture of American and French oak. The wine is rightly famed as one of the classics of Rioja made in a style that combines tradition with modern expertise. At the bodega, we have tasted vintages by CVNE back to the 1950s and they age incredibly well.
