1966 CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva – Rare Rioja Tempranillo Wine

Experience a piece of Spanish wine history with this 1966 CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva, a distinguished Tempranillo from Rioja’s classic vintage. Crafted by the renowned CVNE winery, this rare collectible showcases the elegance and complexity of traditional Rioja winemaking.

A Timeless Vintage with Classic Character

The 1966 harvest in Rioja produced wines of refined structure rather than opulence, and this Imperial Gran Reserva perfectly embodies that style. At 12.6% alcohol, it offers a beautifully balanced profile—deep yet slightly austere, with layers of dark berries, raspberry, tobacco, and subtle spice. The palate reveals a full-bodied texture with tangy acidity, nutskin nuances, and a lingering finish that speaks to its decades of careful aging.
