The history of Compania Vinicola del Norte de Espana, better known as CVNE,
began in 1879 in the town of Haro, one of Spain's most famous wine centers. The
initials of the company were used for the name, but a simple spelling mistake,
where the "V" was mistaken for a "U", resulted in the brand name "CUNE".
Ironically, this mistake led to the creation of one of the leading wine brands
on the national market today.

The company's wine production takes place in El Pilar, the first facility in
Spain specifically designed for wine production. Cune Rioja Reserva uses grapes
from the prestigious Caballeros, Santo Tomas and Sarnamoros wineries, located in
the prestigious Rioja Alta region, in the towns of Rodezno, Villalba and Haro.



The grapes first ferment in a 20,000 kg stainless steel tank. After
fermentation, the wine undergoes heat maceration before remaining in the tank
for 18 months. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation, which gives it a
velvety texture. Finally, the wine is matured in a combination of French and
American oak barrels, which gives the wine its complex aroma and balanced
structure. These meticulous processes help to ensure that the Cune Rioja Reserva
offers an incomparable taste experience that will delight connoisseurs and
gourmets alike.
