Cune Rioja is made in the region of Rioja Alta, which is located in northern Spain. This region is renowned for its ideal climate and terroir for grape cultivation, making it a prime location for winemaking.
The vineyards for Cune Crianza are specifically situated near the CVNE winery in Rioja Alta. This proximity ensures that the grapes used in the production of Cune wines arrive at the winery in optimal conditions. The vineyards are carefully tended to by experienced viticulturists, who work tirelessly to ensure the grapes reach their full potential.
What sets Cune apart is their commitment to sourcing grapes from both their own vineyards and local grape growers in the area. This allows them to have a diverse range of grape sources, which brings complexity and depth to their wines. Approximately half of the grapes used in the production of Cune Crianza come from their own vineyards in Haro and nearby towns.
Having their own vineyards gives Cune control over the entire winemaking process, from grape to bottle. This level of control ensures that the grapes are harvested at the optimal time and are in the best possible condition when they arrive at the winery. It also allows Cune to maintain consistency in the quality of their wines year after year.
In addition to their own vineyards, Cune also purchases grapes from local grape growers in the area. This not only supports the local economy but also allows Cune to access grapes from different vineyard sites, adding complexity and diversity to their wines. These relationships with local grape growers have been built over many years, ensuring a reliable and consistent supply of high-quality grapes.
The combination of their own vineyards and grapes sourced from local growers allows Cune to create wines that truly showcase the unique characteristics of the Rioja Alta region. The terroir of Rioja Alta, with its Atlantic influence, clay-limestone soils, and moderate climate, contributes to the elegance, balance, and aging potential of Cune's wines.
Cune Rioja is made in the heart of Rioja Alta, where the vineyards are carefully selected and tended to by both Cune's own viticulturists and local grape growers. This commitment to quality and sourcing the best grapes from the region ensures that Cune wines consistently deliver exceptional flavors and reflect the essence of Rioja Alta.
