CVNE, Real De Asùa 2020
CVNE Real de Asúa 2020 is a brilliant modern Rioja from one of the region’s most respected and historic producers—but with a contemporary twist. Made in honour of the Real de Asúa brothers who founded CVNE back in 1879, this wine brings heritage and craftsmanship into sharp, stylish focus. Sourced from a single vineyard in Villalba, one of the cooler spots in Rioja Alta, this 100% Tempranillo is all about purity, precision, and poise. The 2020 vintage is particularly elegant—lifted and aromatic, with notes of ripe red berries, sweet spice, and just a touch of cedar from the French oak. There’s lovely texture here too, with fine tannins and a long, graceful finish that hints at its ageing potential. Refined enough for a special dinner, but so beautifully balanced that it never feels overdone, it's a must-have for Rioja lovers.
Pommard, Jane Eyre 2023
The 2023 vintage at Jane Eyre Wines continues the tradition of producing refined and expressive wines with hallmark precision. Like 2022, 2023 was shaped by a warm growing season, but with the significant difference of ample rainfall when needed, keeping the soils well-nourished. The reds display lovely perfume, aromatics, and depth—qualities Jane prioritises in her Pinot Noirs—while the whites, after a slower start, have blossomed into vibrant, expressive examples of the vintage. "A new addition to the lineup, this biodynamic Pommard leans toward a Volnay style with its bright red fruit profile. Crunchy wild strawberries and cassis dominate, with a hint of white pepper and fine, grippy tannins. No new oak ensures purity and freshness." Our note Jane’s use of whole-cluster fermentation increased in 2023, coupled with colder soaks at the start of fermentation. This approach has resulted in wines with richer colours and enhanced complexity. While the vintage is already showing expressive youthful charm, it also holds great potential for aging, making 2023 both approachable and collectible. The wines evolve quickly, offering fresh insights with each tasting.
