Compañia Vinícola del Norte de España

"We’ve partnered with UK agent Hatch Mansfield to distribute a host of outstanding wines from La Compañia Vinícola del Norte de España, better known as C.V.N.E. Established in 1879, C.V.N.E remains a family-owned business with operations today encompassing no fewer than seven wineries in Valdeorras, Ribera del Duero, Penedès (Cava) and Rías Baixas, as well its heartland of Rioja. C.V.N.E is responsible for the iconic Imperial and Contino, but also from Rioja, Spain’s oldest white wine brand, Monopole, created in 1915. Monopole Gran Reserva, with its outré dash of Manzanilla, is a wine we’ve fallen in love with. C.V.N.E’s latest acquisition, Bodegas La Val in Rías Baixas, is a superb source of Albariño. Across the board, these wines show tremendous typicity and attention to detail."
