Founded in 1879, CVNE is one of Rioja's historic producers. Viña Real was introduced by the company in the 1920s, with its wines centred on vineyards in Rioja Alavesa.
The distinctive Viña Real winery near Laguardia was designed specifically around the production and maturation of the estate's Rioja wines.
The 2014 Viña Real Gran Reserva represents the traditional Gran Reserva style: extended maturation before release, combining developed Rioja character with the structure and freshness of Tempranillo grown in Rioja Alavesa.
Now with more than a decade of bottle age, the wine is entering a mature stage of its development.
