• Imperial Gran Reserva 1968 CVNE DOC rioja wine - Although classified as very good by the Consejo, this red wine developed and evolved later than usual into something quite excellent.
• Vina Real Reserva 1995 CVNE DOC rioja wine - Fuller and heavier in style than its sister wine Imperial, due to the grapes being harvested from the cooler hills of Rioja Alavesa. Spicy oak and vanilla are mixed with floral, red fruits and blackberry on the nose and palate.
• Vina Real Gran Reserva 1975 CVNE DOC rioja wine - 1975 was classified as very good, with much lower than average production yielding very intense wines. This wine is drinking well now with another three to four years left yet.
• Vina Real Gran Reserva 1982 CVNE DOC rioja wine - The first vintage to be classified as excellent for eighteen years since 1964. This powerful, elegant and enigmatic rioja wine has certainly made its mark in history.
• Vina Real Gran Reserva 1987 CVNE DOC rioja wine - Classified as very good by the Consejo Regulador, this is a refined and elegant red wine with intense fruit, great acidity and rich subtle tannins. Its character, aromas and flavours are continuously changing giving this wine true individuality.
