Viña Real Reserva 2016 is part of the CVNE portfolio. Produced from mostly Tempranillo with 10% in Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano, the wine is fresh with dark berry, plum, red berry, white pepper and well-integrated oak spice flavours supple on the palate. Grapes were fermented in stainless-steel vats and the wine was matured for 22 months in new French oak barriques with racking every quarter. Drink or hold.

Food pairings: meat pie, bobtje, spaghetti and meatballs.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
