CUNE Rioja Blanco Seco Monopole
Monopole is Spain's oldest white wine brand, first registered in 1915 – proving that not everything good from Rioja has to be red. This crisp, aromatic white shows why the region's whites deserve more attention on the world stage.
CUNE (pronounced 'COO-nay') crafts this wine primarily from the Viura grape (also known as Macabeo), which thrives in Rioja's continental climate. The name 'Monopole' comes from the French term indicating exclusive control over a vineyard – a nod to the wine's premium quality and heritage.
This bottle offers a refreshing alternative to more common white varieties, bringing Spanish character and food-friendly versatility to the table. It's the perfect introduction to Spanish white wines for those looking to explore beyond the usual suspects.
