The Story
Imperial is CVNE's crown jewel, made only in strong years from old-vine parcels in three Rioja Alta villages. The name goes back to the 1920s, when the house bottled a special cuvée in the old 'imperial' pint format for the British market. Tempranillo leads, supported by Graciano, Mazuelo, and Garnacha, with roughly two years in a mix of American and French oak before more time resting in bottle. The result is classic, elegant, age-worthy Rioja—structured and savory, built to reward patience. A flagship that earns the title.
