Monopole 2025

CVNE (hentet 17. okt. 2026): Monopole 2025 – teknisk ark (producentens tekst, engelsk): The vineyard This white wine is made from the Viura grape variety, sourced from bush-trained vineyards, both estate-owned and from our long-standing growers in Rioja Alta. The soils are cool, loam-clay in composition. All vineyard work, including harvesting, is carried out by hand. Winemaking Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes undergo an eight-hour skin contact maceration at a temperature of 10–12 °C. The fruit is then transferred to a small pneumatic press, where the free-run juice is obtained by gravity before pressing begins. Static settling is carried out using only physical methods. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks under controlled temperatures, with the aim of extracting and preserving the primary, fruity and floral aromas characteristic of the variety. Vintage / Harvest description During the 2025 growing season in the Rioja DOCa, March was cold and wet, leading to a certain slowdown in the vegetative cycle. The intense heat recorded in June and August reversed this trend, accelerating vine development. Despite the sanitary and climatic challenges faced during the season, the absence of rainfall towards the end of the cycle, together with marked day–night temperature differences, allowed for gradual and balanced ripening. The result was a harvest carried out between September and October, lower in volume but of exceptional quality and outstanding sanitary condition. The harvest of white grapes at CVNE began on 5 September and concluded on 3 October.
