Three excellent pieces of news from Rioja:
? Firstly, the excellent CVNE bodega agreed to let us bottle their exceptional 2001 vintage gran reserva under our flagship Exhibition label. This is the first gran reserva to wear The Society?s livery.
? The second is that the wine beat all comers to pick up a gold medal at the 2012 International Wine Challenge ? confirmation that the wine is as delicious as you might expect from such a bodega in such an exceptional vintage.
? Last, but not least, the support of CVNE has enabled us to reduce this wine by £7 per bottle to Society members until the end of June. The new price of £18 has also been backdated to members who have already bought this wine at the higher price.
An embarrassment of riches!
