General Information
Cune Blanco Semidulce is only made in years when the weather allows for longer ripening of the grapes – an essential requisite for achieving a greater concentration of sugar in the wine that’s only possible under certain humidity and temperature conditions.
Cune Blanco Semidulce, made under the D.O.Ca. Rioja, is a perfect choice with starters, goat’s cheese and foie as well as Asian dishes and even desserts thanks to its subtle sweetness.
In addition, this particular semisweet white wine involves a painstaking process: after the grapes are picked by hand, the must is pressed and fermented in American oak barrels. The fermentation process is stopped naturally to ensure that the natural sugars are partly preserved so that the resulting wine is particularly complex and mouth-coating.
CVNE is one of the best-known Spanish wineries in and outside the country. Located in the famous Station District of the town of Haro, it can boast of being one of the first firms in the area to have earned and held onto its reputation as standard-bearer of Rioja and Spanish wines.

The nose dis
Fresh and silky on the attack, with a subtle sweetness that recalls caramel and honey and a long finish with a balsamic touch.
The winery
The Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España is one of the great symbols of the Estación de Haro neighborhood, the great capital of Rioja wine. Founded in 1879 by the brothers Raimundo and Eusebio Real de Asúa, CVNE (as it is known worldwide) can proudly claim to have remained at the top throughout its history. Ten years after its creation, the winery inaugurated an impressive barrel hall designed by the studio of Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. By 1900, it was already producing nearly 80,000 bottles, an unthinkable feat for the time. The 20th century established CVNE as an institution of Spanish wine.
Over 140 years, it has successfully combined tradition and innovation to create wines that today are the standard-bearers of Rioja reds and have garnered international critical acclaim. Its Imperial Gran Reserva 2004 made history when it was chosen as Wine of the Year 2013 by the prestigious American magazine Wine Spectator, marking the first time a Spanish wine received this recognition.
Since its foundation, CVNE has expanded its heritage and grown with avant-garde projects at different times in its history, such as the creation of Viñedos del Contino or Viña Real.
