CVNE

For over 140 years, CVNE has been a driving force in the heart of Rioja, shaping the identity of Spanish wine through a rare balance of tradition and innovation. Known formally as Compania Vinicola del Norte de España, this historic family-run winery stands as one of the most respected names in Spanish viticulture - celebrated for its craftsmanship, consistency, and commitment to excellence. Founded in 1879 in Haro, the wine capital of Rioja, CVNE was established by two brothers with a vision: to produce wines that honour the land and showcase the region's potential on the world stage. Today, that vision continues to thrive across five generations of family leadership, making it not just a name, but a legacy.

What distinguishes CVNE is its deep respect for heritage, paired with a constant drive for innovation. From pioneering the use of gravity-flow winemaking techniques to maintaining century-old cellars alongside modern facilities, CVNE blends the old and the new with remarkable harmony. Its wineries are some of the most architecturally and technologically advanced in Spain, yet still rooted in the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of experience.

The vineyards themselves are located in some of Rioja's most prestigious zones, where climate, soil, and altitude converge to produce wines of depth, elegance, and longevity. CVNE's meticulous vineyard management and commitment to sustainability ensure that every bottle reflects the character of the land.

As one of the founding names in Rioja’s rise to global prominence, it continues to earn international acclaim - not only for the quality of its wines but for its enduring influence on Spain's wine culture. Exploring CVNE means experiencing the soul of Spanish winemaking at its most authentic and refined.
