2022 Cune (Cvne) Vina Real Rioja Rosado
Grape
Usually a bend of Viura with some Garnacha and Tempranillo
Its Origins
The Cune label now occupies the mid-range of the Cvne hierarchy, but the name is based in the family's orginal hometown of Haro, Rioja Alta. It was there that Cvne were established in 1879 by the Real de Asúa brothers, Eusebio and Raimundo, and over the decades they became and remained one of Rioja's most reliable sources of high quality wine. Soon comprising three bodegas (Asua de Real, Cune and Contino) they maintained the distinctiveness of each, with the Cune label's stylistic integrity built around a balance of old and new style Rioja: clean, juicy fruit with oak influence and ageworthy acid and tannin structure.
What The Critics Say
91+/100 Parker's Wine Advocate, Luiz Gutierrez (2021 vintage)
"The very pale 2021 Viña Real Rosado looks more like a blanc de noirs than a rosé, and it does have a lot of white fruit here, with 70% Viura and only 30% red grapes, Tempranillo and Garnacha. There's a reductive touch that I like, and it's young and vibrant with a bit of an irreverent profile—and one had doubts about its color. A very nice clarete, indeed!"
90/100 Decanter, Fiona Beckett (2021 vintage)
"This rosado from Rioja giant CVNE is a delicate Provençal pink. Deliciously creamy with delicate strawberry fruit and a touch of peach but a crisp, dry finish. Perfect for summery food like this dish, it packs in a lot of flavour for the money."
90/100 James Suckling (2021 vintage)
"Pale copper color with aromas of chopped apple, raspberry, lemon and watermelon. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and crunchy berry and stone fruit. Dry and zesty finish. Blend of viura and tempranillo. Drink now."
