CUNE Colección de la Familia Rioja Reserva DOCa

In 1879, the Real de Asúa brothers arrived in Haro to embark on what would become one of the longest-standing histories in the wine world. A trip initially taken for health reasons led to the creation of Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (C.V.N.E.) in the iconic Barrio de la Estación railway station. The first wine produced by CVNE was named after its initials. A simple orthographic mistake where the V was written as U resulted in the creation of the Cune brand.

Sourced from premium estates across Rioja, the CUNE Colección de la Familia Rioja Reserva is a specific cuvée that delivers the meticulous balance of old-school wood aging and vibrant primary fruit that defines the CUNE house style.
