Compania Vinicola del Norte de Espana 'Vina Real' Crianza, Rioja, Spain
Readers rated this wine:
Pretty, fresh, woven.
Made from Tempranillo with 10% Garnacha and Mazuelo and Graciano grapes, this crianza was aged 13-14 months in American oak barrels and then additional time in bottle before release.
Attractive dried strawberry, cedar, iodine, rose petal and fine spices, leather and anise aromas lead to a classic palate. Smooth and earthy it has good concentration, persistence and freshness.
A pretty wine, evolved and woven.

Compania Vinicola del Norte de Espana 'Vina Real' Crianza, Rioja, Spain
Readers rated this wine:
Textural, bright, juicy.
Made from Tempranillo, Garnacha and Mazuelo grapes this crianza was aged 12 months in French and American oak barrels and then additional time in bottle before release.
Bright and tangy aromas of strawberry and rhubarb, dried orange peel and tealeaf atop rose petals lead to a tart palate with jubilant fruit and a long juicy finish. Good overall structure and balance; modern yet rustic--it's a great combination.

Pretty, fresh, woven.
Made from Tempranillo with 10% Garnacha and Mazuelo and Graciano grapes, this crianza was aged a minimum of 12 months in American oak casks and then additional time in bottle before release.
Expect attractive dried strawberry, cedar, vanilla, licorice rose petal and baking spices and saddle leather aromas. It's a textural wine, juicy with restrained fruit. A definitive food wine for tomato dishes, roasted meats, oily fish and mild curries.

CVNE ' Cune Monopole', Rioja, Spain
Readers rated this wine:
Rich, resinous, slick.
Made from Viura, this rich and resinous white offers lemon grass, honey and peach fuzz, green apples, lime and wildflowers. It has a slick honeyed but dry and savoury palate. Herbal and citrus flavours are woven with golden fruits and it as a distinct salty/umami character.
Pairs nicely with savoury deep-fried vegetarian spring rolls, but also with oily fish and white meats.

CVNE 'CUNE' Cava Brut, Penedes, Spain
Readers rated this wine:
Potent, creamy, concentrated.
Made from the trifecta of Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo this quite potent Cava is made in the traditional method and suggests aromas of bread dough and dried acacia, preserved melon, yellow apples and lemon meringue. It has notable concentration and flavours of grilled apples brioche and burnt honey and charred lemon peel. Creamy and quite full-bodied, this isn't a lightweight Cava rather it's more considerable.
