Cune Reserva 2019

CVNE (hentet 17. okt. 2026): Cune Reserva 2019 – teknisk ark (producentens tekst, engelsk): Cune Reserva 2019 The vineyard The grapes for Cune Reserva come from our own vineyards known as Caballeros, Santo Tomás and Sarnamoros, and these are all to be found in Rioja Alta in the villages of Rodezno, Villalba y Haro. The soils are mainly chalky clay and are at an altitude of between 500 and 600 metres. The vines are 20-25 years old and all grapes for Cune Reserva are hand harvested. Winemaking Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel vats of 20.000kgs at controlled temperature where we alternate different types of pumping, traditional with pump, delestage and pigeage. After fermentation we carry out a hot maceration with a total vatting period of about 18 days. Following a spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in American and French oak barrels for 18 months. Once clarified and filtered the wine is bottled and ages for more than 12 months in our cellars under adequate temperature and humidity conditions prior its release to market. Vintage / Harvest description The harvest began at CVNE on September 12th and ended on October 15th .The vegetative state of the vineyard has been very good in terms of health in Rioja Alta. Due to temperature fluctuations and light rainfall during the months of May and June, the quantity of grapes was reduced, resulting in small, loose and less compact bunches, but increasing the quality considerably. The evolution of the grapes was late compared to last year, but the low yields led to earlier ripening, making the harvest dates the same. The grapes were harvested calmly and gradually, allowing for a good selection of grapes both in the vineyard and in the winery. Tasting note Garnet in color with some cherry red hints. Aromas of forest fruits, blackberries, cherries, strawberries…. and liquorice being well integrated with notes from aging in barrel such as spices, vanilla and anise. The palate is soft due to a friendly tannin that gives it balance and roundness. The final note of acidity gives us a long wine with a fruity aftertaste. Perfect pairing with fish, meat, cheese and stews.
