Bodegas CVNE

Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España was founded in 1879 by two brothers, Eusebio and Raimundo Real de Asua. They gave birth to a family winery that would develop over 5 generations.

The CVNE group, emblematic of Spain's prestigious wines, now boasts 7 vineyards in Spain's finest wine-growing regions, including Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. With 140 years' experience behind it, CVNE is constantly evolving, blending tradition and innovation to produce wines of excellence.

With its 1994 vintage, the Real de Asual wine makes its appearance, each year paying homage to the passion and work of the founding brothers. Its grapes come from the CVNE "Carromaza" vineyard, located in the Rioja Alta region in the Spanish municipality of Villalba. Representing 2.37 hectares, the 100% Tempranillo vines are grown at an altitude of 600 meters. Sheltered from the cold and wind by the mountain slopes of the Sierra de Cantabria, the grapes benefit from a unique climate conducive to their development.

The harvest is carried out entirely by hand in the vineyard, with the berries sorted twice before being placed in vats. Real de Asua is aged for 12 months in 100% new French oak barrels.

"Great purity, great clarity, and wonderful finesse according to James Suckling: discover one of the greatest wines of Spain and the world".

"[...] From the fresh 2020 vintage, this wine is intensely fragrant and almost heady on the nose: baked plums, strawberries and sweet spices of anise, cinnamon and clove. Supple and oh-so-sweet, but with a crumpled velvet aspect that gives it weight and texture. The palate is immediately satisfying, with delicate yet coating tannins that give structure and support without overwhelming the crisp, ripe, fleshy fruit. The acidity is high and perfectly balances the underlying warm elements. Rich, sumptuous, seductive, but with balance and nuance - everything is well defined and the palate is deliciously juicy on the mid-palate. Luminous, bright, lively and utterly drinkable. [...] 2025-2040" (Decanter 2023) - Wooden cases available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).
