CVNE Corona Gran Reserva 2016
Descripción
CVNE Corona Gran Reserva es un blanco semidulce de Viura inspirado en un estilo de vinos ya elaborados a finales de la década de los pasados años 30. La uva fue vendimiada en diciembre buscando su podredumbre noble. Tras su fermentación y larga crianza en roble francés da un vino de complejísima nariz y extraordinaria boca marcada por un sutil dulzor y una potente acidez.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2016 Corona Gran Reserva is an unusual semi-sweet white wine. It has 15% alcohol with a pH of 3.37, 7.6 grams of acidity and 33 grams of residual sugar. The vineyard is in Villalba de Rioja where fog facilitates the creation of Botrytis cinerea. The must fermented in oak barrels, and the fermentation was stopped, cooling the wine down to leave around 30 grams of unfermented sugar. It had a long élevage, six years, in barrels of different sizes. The long time in the cave gave them a very specific nose (like I see, for example, in the wines from López de Heredia), with notes of mushroom and damp earth, chalky and yeasty, with notes in common with the Monopole Gran Reserva (and the 1939 Corona, as a matter of fact...). It has a touch of volatility, smoky hints and a vibrant palate, lifted by the acidity. The sugar goes unnoticed. It's quite consistent with the previous year. 1,150 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2023. (Luis Gutiérrez)
The first vintage of this brilliant wine was one of the discoveries of my 2022 report and I have no reason to change my opinion of its unique qualities. Made with Viura picked on December 20, it spends five years in barrel before release. Medium dry at 30 grams of sugar, it has notes of botrytis sweetness, gentle, nutty oxidation, crystallised lemon peel, a drizzle of honey and a tangy passion fruit and citrus finish. 2025-35.
Popcorn, smoke, honeycomb, honeydew melon, butterscotch and wax. Beautifully flattering, with about 30 g/L of residual sugar. But it’s intense in flavors, with bright acidity, striking length and harmony. A unique wine. Drink or hold. (Zekun Shuai)
