C.V.N.E. Imperial Rioja Gran Reserva 6 Bottle Case

C.V.N.E. Imperial Rioja Gran Reserva 2012

The C.V.N.E. Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja has long held a reputation as one of the finest Rioja's and is only produced in exceptional years. The Imperial name came after a special bottling for the English market, in a measure called 'Pinta Imperial' or 'Imperial Pint' - approximately half a litre. Grapes for Imperial always come from C.V.N.E's own vineyards in the Rioja Alta where the vines are on average 20+ years old. This is a beautifully elegant blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo. The perfect balance of fruits of the forest and liquorice stand out along with aromas from pine, cigar leaf and sweet spices. The palate is marked by soft tannins and a long elegant finish. Imperial's capacity to age is remarkable and over the years the wine acquires complexity and nuance. Vintage after vintage, Imperials style is consistent: elegant, balanced and delicate. C.V.N.E. has vintages of Imperial dating back to 1917.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
