IMPERIAL GRAN RESERVA 750 ml

Description

Discover the timeless allure of CVNE's Imperial Gran Reserva, a standout from the family-owned Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España in Rioja, Spain. Founded in 1879, this winery upholds a legacy of excellence, crafting wines that echo generations of expertise. The Imperial name emerged in the 1920s, reserved exclusively for those exceptional vintages deemed worthy by the estate itself.

The 2017 Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja captivates with its bright garnet hue, drawing you into a world of aromatic depth. Lift the glass to encounter enticing licorice scents, a hallmark of Tempranillo influence, mingled with vibrant forest fruits. Subtle layers unfold—cloves, roasted coffee, cigar leaf, chocolate, caramel, and balsamic nuances—creating an inviting bouquet that promises sophistication.

On the palate, elegance reigns supreme. A fine structure gives way to a deep, enveloping mid-palate that feels rich and substantial. Friendly tannins balance seamlessly with a hint of acidity, culminating in a lingering, multifaceted finish. This Gran Reserva embodies enduring quality, poised to evolve gracefully through the coming years, offering a decade of optimal enjoyment for those who savor patience.

Elevate your meals with this Rioja treasure. Picture it alongside roasted lamb, where its depth amplifies the savory richness, or with grilled steak, enhancing every charred edge. Aged Manchego cheese finds a perfect foil in its complexity, while mushroom risotto or a charcuterie spread transforms casual gatherings into memorable feasts. Each pairing unlocks new dimensions, making every sip a highlight.

For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the Imperial Gran Reserva stands as a testament to Rioja's revered tradition. Hailing from Spain's iconic region, this 750 ml bottle at 14% ABV delivers dry poise (sweetness level 01) in every pour.
