Boasting a rich history, wide range of styles and easy food pairing potential, it's no wonder Rioja's wines are so loved around the world. Today, its reds are widely celebrated, and its whites fast gaining recognition among both critics and connoisseurs. One of its most respected winemakers is Cune, or CVNE (Compañía Vinícola del Norte del España – the Northern Spanish Wine Company), which was founded in 1879 in the Rioja town of Haro. The first wine produced by CVNE took the name of the company's initials, but a branding error (replacing the V with a U) gave birth to the Cune brand, which today, five generations later, is still producing renowned wines.
Below, brush up on your Rioja knowledge with our beginner's guide to the region, explore ways of celebrating white Rioja and be inspired by our collection of recipes which we've created specifically with Cune wines in mind.
