Pagos de Galir Mencia is vibrant dark cherry red in colour and has a great aromatic intensity of fresh red fruits, balsamic and sweet spice. The red fruit aromas are balanced by subtle toasted notes from 6 months ageing in oak. Silky tannins and a soft fruity finish, this is a well-structured, mouth-wateringly fresh red wine.

Soils in these high altitude vineyards with a 30% inclination are mostly slate.The 2019 vintage for Mencia grapes took place in the third week of September, characterised by a dry year with low yields and late maturation.Cold maceration of the grapes in scale fridges and of the must 48 hours before alcoholic fermentation. Destemmed but not pressed in order to preserve the primary aromas. 8 months barrel ageing in French and American oak.

Victor Urrutia is the CEO OF C.V.N.E.Victor is a direct descendant of the founding brothers and is closely involved with the day to day management of our business. He is passionate in his desire to combine traditional winemaking methods with modern innovation.

I have added another concern to this (very short) list: to make our wines known across the worldâ€?

C.V.N.E. has three wineries in Rioja: Cune, Viña Real and Contino.In June 2017, C.V.N.E. purchased the renowned Catalonia winery Roger Goulart, dating back to 1882, located in the world-famous D.O.
