Merchant's description
Real de Asúa from the illustrious Rioja producer, CVNE, is a brilliant wine produced from their best vineyards in Villalba and Haro. Deep in colour, it has intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits, exotic spices, ground coffee and subtly toasty oak. Medium-bodied, plush and interwoven by fine-grained tannins, there is early drinking appeal, however, there is ample palate concentration and freshness for this to age particularly well.
