The CVNE Cune Rioja Crianza appears a bright garnet in color in the glass. Cune Crianza displays an expressive nose with vibrant notes of red fruit and liquorice, elegantly balanced by the sweet nuances of ageing in American oak. On the palate, it is smooth and approachable, with a fresh, lingering, fruit-driven finish that invites another sip.

A versatile wine, ideal for pairing with a wide range of dishes from the Mediterranean diet.

 85% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha tinta and Mazuelo. The wine is aged for one year in American oak barrels that have been used for several previous vintages. This ageing process imparts the aromatic balance, finesse and overall expression that characterise Cune Crianza.

The vineyards used for Cune Crianza are located in Rioja Alta, in the vicinity of CVNE, which allows the grapes to arrive in optimal condition for vinification. Approximately half of the grapes come from estate-owned vineyards in Haro and nearby villages, while the rest are sourced from long-standing partner growers in the region. CVNE has worked with these growers for generations, providing ongoing technical support and close monitoring to ensure grape quality. The grapes used for this wine come from a wide range of plots, offering a diversity of soils, exposures, vine training systems, and vine ages. Cune Crianza is a blend that consistently reflects its own distinctive and recognisable style, year after year. 

A fresh and fruity red with cherry and berry aromas. It’s crunchy and delicious, with a medium body and a fresh finish. Tempranillo with some graciano. So delicious. A clear and bright crianza.

The 2022 Cune Crianza is a blend of 85% Tempranillo with 15% Garnacha and Mazuelo from Rioja Alta. Looking for the Haro style, it fermented in 20,000-liter stainless steel vats with selected yeasts and matured in well-seasoned, used American oak and a small portion of French oak barrels for 12 months. Like in many places across Spain, the results in 2022 are much better than expected. This is soft and tender, polished and approachable, without the tension of a cooler year but very pleasant and easy to drink. They have been looking for finer and more elegant wines, finer-boned. It was bottled with 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.63 and 5.45 grams of acidity. They produced three million bottles. It was bottled in December 2025. Anticipated Maturity: 2026-2030
