CUNE 2015 Gran Reserva 2-bottle Gift Set

The Wine

Gran Reserva wines from Rioja must be aged for a minimum of five years, at leaset two of which must be in oak casks and at least three years in bottle before release. These two bottles of 2015 Gran Reservas come from an exceptional producer and and a vintage that was graded "Excellent" - no surprise there, as Gran Reservas are only produced from exceptional vintages.

The wine is a blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo. The wine spent 24 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels.  This wine is enjoyable now and will continue to integrate and improve over the next 5-7 years, remain at its peak for several years more, and then sometime around 2035 begin a long and slow decline that may last another decade or more. 

The Winery

“The first wine produced by the company took its name from the initials CVNE. A fortuitous misspelling between the U and the V created the iconic Cune brand”
