Imperial Reserva, CVNE, Rioja 2020
"CVNE's artisanally produced Imperial wines are only ever made in exceptional years and the 2020 CVNE Imperial Reserva is a cracker, made from the hand-picked fruit of 40-year-old vines, fermented, aged and blended with almost obsessive care. Once I’d finally managed to interrupt the sisters’ debate about outside lighting and the relative merits of Aldi’s special buys vs Dunelm, we got properly stuck in. Mrs Ray loved the soft black fruit, Felicity the whispers of vanilla and I the remarkable concentration of flavour and, well, its sheer elegance."
- Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine (tasted August 2026)
