About the Winery

Founded in 1879 in the historic Station District of Haro (Rioja Alta), Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (CVNE) is one of the most iconic wineries in the Rioja DOCa, renowned for its quality and tradition. Its vineyards, situated on clay-limestone soils and under a climate influenced by both the Atlantic and continental climates, offer ideal conditions for native varieties such as Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo.

The winery's international prestige was cemented when its Imperial Gran Reserva 2004 was named "Best Wine in the World" by Wine Spectator magazine, becoming the first Spanish wine to achieve this recognition. Produced only in exceptional vintages, Imperial reflects the perfect balance between tradition and innovation. Hand-harvesting, fermentation in wooden vats, and aging in French and American oak barrels guarantee elegant, complex wines with excellent aging potential.

With over 140 years of history, CVNE remains a symbol of Rioja wine, combining its historical legacy with a modern vision that maintains its excellence worldwide.
