Cune Barrel Fermented Rioja Blanco 2022/23

Cune (or CVNE to some) are world-famous for their Rioja. But have you tried their whites before£ This one is made from the Viura grape, which is known as Macabeo outside of Rioja. They aim to create a modern style of Rioja Blanco. And it’s fermented in 50% new American oak, which gives the wine a creamy texture and pronounced aromas of vanilla and brioche. It’s full and rounded with a balancing citrus acidity. Fantastic with roast pork. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award for the 2020 vintage. - Manufacturers part number: Cune_
