Rated 93 by Wine Advocate
The second vintage of the Reserva white is the 2019 Cune Blanco Reserva, a style of wine they produced in the 1950s and 1960s—dry wines aged in barrel with Viura grapes, looking for more tension and working more in the selection of oak. The wine is 13% alcohol and has a pH of 3.26 (without malolactic) and a classical aromatic profile that is spicy and smoky with notes of dried flowers and chamomile. It fermented in a combination of concrete and oak vats and barrels and matured in second and third use French oak barrels for 18 months. It's medium-bodied but with juicy fruit making it rich and easy to drink, with some developed notes reminiscent of diesel and white tea. It's dry, chalky and tasty. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2021.

A distinctive white, this opens with generous aromas of fragrant ground anise, graphite and crushed pine, followed by up-front flavors of poached apricot and blood orange that transition to dried white cherry and salted almond notes reminiscent of a good fino Sherry. Bright and graceful, with well-knit, mouthwatering acidity and a lingering finish that echoes the cherry and almond profile. Drink now through 2028. 2,500 cases made, 600 cases imported.

Region: La Rioja

The northern Spanish region of La Rioja has been producing many of Spain's finest and most characterful wines for generations, and is a historic region of country featuring several fascinating examples of ancient wine making practices. The wines of La Rioja stand up as some of the finest in the world, with devoted fans across the globe drawn to their rich flavors, relatively light body, and complex, deep and enticing aromas. Typically, wineries in La Rioja use the fine Tempranillo grapes which grow in abundance on the excellent soils of the region, and occasionally blend their wines with the highly aromatic Garnacha varietal, amongst others. There has also been an increase of interest in La Rioja's superb white wines in recent years, which usually utilize the Viura varietal grape and result in exquisite aged bottles.

Country: Spain

From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
