Cune Reserva 2017

Soft and supple on the palate with good integration of wood and attractive fruit character, this Reserva Rioja from a well-respected traditional bodega is made from a careful blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano grapes. This wine would be a good partner for lamb, duck, or vegetables roasted with sweet smoked paprika.

Vineyards between 20 and 35 years old located in the Rioja Alta at an altitude between 450-600 m, clay loam soils, with a mean rainfall of 450 l / year.

Reasoned pest control

The grapes were hand picked from selected vineyards and, following destalking, they were fermented at controlled temperatures between 28ºC and 30ºC. Following a full malolactic fermentation to balance the acidity, and to round and soften the wine, it was matured for eighteen months in a mixture of French and American oak barrels, with rackings every six months. After bottling, the wine was cellared for a year before being released.
