The wine
In 1910, the co-founder of the CVNE winery Eusebio Real de Asúa designed a wine label with three stars, one for each of his children: Sofía (or Bela to the family), Áurea and Ramón. Following their recent move into winemaking in Ribera del Duero, CVNE decided to recover this image and the name of Bela to label their first wines in the region.
What does this wine taste like?
The result is a fine and elegant red wine with an intense Picota cherry colour and violet glints in the glass. A notable aromatic complexity of red fruit and floral notes with sweet spicy hints over a smoky background thanks to its time spent in wood. With flavoursome tannins, great acidity and length, Bela is a wine which expresses the characteristics of Ribera del Duero, but which also, as expected in a CVNE wine, shines with its own personality.

Winemaking
Bela is made with a careful selection of hand-picked grapes and a traditional vinification process. Cold maceration, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and six months' ageing in a mixture of both new and used American and French oak barrels.
