My background is quite ordinary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">I never expected to become the CEO of CVNE. The previous chairman was my uncle Luis, who had been running CVNE since the late sixties. Quite unexpectedly, in 2002 his health deteriorated and he decided to step down.\u00a0The natural successor would have been my father Victor (I\u2019m the third one in a row, there\u2019s another one after me) but he was too busy working on other projects. So he asked me to run CVNE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">At first, I said no. I was in my twenties. I was working as a management consultant for a US company, living in Brazil while working on a project with a local company. I was single and enjoying my life in Sao Paulo. I did not want to return to Spain and work in a small company where all the top management had been working there since before I was born. I breezily told him that I wasn\u2019t interested. There weren\u2019t actually that many other candidates for the position within the family. All other available family members were too young.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">My father insisted, that what was initially a friendly offer became a request, first friendly, then firm. I eventually accepted, out of a sense of responsibility to my family. I agreed to do the job for one year. But one problem or opportunity led to another and the job was never done. So here I am after 21 years. I\u2019m very privileged to have this job, as they say never have regrets in life, only about things you haven\u2019t done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Gerda: <\/span><\/strong><strong><em>What are the main challenges you personally face in your work?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><strong>Victor Urrutia:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">My main challenge is to improve the quality of Real de As\u00faa, a wine we have been producing since 1994 as a tribute to the two Real de As\u00faa brothers who founded the company in the 19th century and one of which is my great- great grandfather. This wine represents our legacy. Since 2018, it has been a single plot selection from just 2.37 hectares planted with 30-year-old Tempranillo vines. This plot is located in the Carromaza vineyard at an altitude of more than 500 meters, making a unique terroir to which we are fully dedicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">A second challenge for me is how to introduce\u00a0Real de As\u00faa across the world.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10328 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Real-de-Asua-Vines_Carromaza-3-1-scaled.jpg\" alt='' width=\"690\" height=\"517\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: center;\"><strong>Vintage 2020<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-weight: inherit;\">Gerda<\/span>: Can you describe in a few words vintage 2020 (released last September)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>Victor Urrutia:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Grapes were hand-harvested on September 9th 2020 at Carromaza. They were placed into 300 kg crates which were then stored in a refrigerated trailer at 10\u00baC until their transfer to the winery, a couple kilometers away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">There was a double selection of the grapes, first in the vineyard and later on arrival at the winery. Whole grapes were held at a cold temperature and very gently crushed the following day and then gravity-fed into a small, five-year-old French oak vat. Wild yeasts were used, with punching down to manage the cap and following the alcoholic fermentation, taking place at 28-29\u00baC, the wine macerated on its skins. The time for draining the vat was determined through tasting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">The wine was then racked to new French oak barrels where the malolactic fermentation occurred. Subsequently, the wine was racked into new and one-year French oak old barrels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Milder temperatures during the year reduced the growing season over previous years\u2019 average by around 15 days.\u00a0No snow over the winter, and importantly, no spring frost.\u00a0Very healthy fruit set and harvest.\u00a0Higher rainfall than the average for the village of Villalba. As a result, yields were somewhat higher than previous years\u2019 for this particular plot. A fresh, cool vintage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10331 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/09-1.png\" alt='' width=\"724\" height=\"405\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Real de As\u00faa today and tomorrow<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Gerda<\/span>: What positioning do you want for your brand?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>Victor Urrutia:\u00a0<\/strong>Real de As\u00faa needs to be the faithful expression of Tempranillo planted in a truly exceptional vineyard, and as a result, it should become one of the best Spanish wines.

While our Gran Reserva tend to come from various vineyards and are aged for a long time in oak, Real de As\u00faa takes a different approach. It represents the pure expression of the terroir through the vehicle of an old Tempranillo plant. The wine is wonderfully complex, floral, intense, and possesses refined freshness with a lot of finesse.

Although just over 2 hectares, Carromaza is quite special and fully understanding it has taken us decades. The challenge is still there, though. We have to continue expressing the terroir as best as we can \u2013 in the vineyard throughout the season, at harvest, in the cellar, and in the choice of wood. It\u2019s over 100 different small decisions and they all add up.\u00a0 I\u2019m equally proud of this as well as the Albari\u00f1o project which is 50 times larger in terms of volume.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">G<\/span>: Where is your property in terms of \u201cecological transition\u201d?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>Victor Urrutia:<\/strong><\/span> Real de As\u00faa is not certified but we make every effort to minimize the use of treatments.

This is a semi-sweet white wine that was a bit of a fluke. The story goes back to the end of the Spanish Civil in 1939 when there were no men available to do the harvest. The fruit was left hanging on the vine until very late into the year. During this time, there was a very rare outbreak of noble rot, which is not frequent in Rioja Alta, and women were finally found and available to take on the task of harvesting the white berries. The wine was vinified, placed in barrels, and promptly forgotten.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">The 5 barrels of this exceptional wine were discovered by my uncle Luis when he conducted an inventory in 1970. He loved the wine and decided to bottle it. Once again, the wine was forgotten about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">In 1994, my cousin Sofia was planning her wedding, thinking about which wine to serve with lobster during the dinner. Her father, my uncle Luis had a brainwave and remembered the Corona 1939, slumbering away in our cellars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">The decision was made to serve the Corona semi-sweet 1939. The wine turned out to be magnificent and has continued to improve with time. It was the first white wine from Spain to receive a perfect score of 100 points from The Wine Advocate, marking an unforgettable and extraordinary moment that I will never forget.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10337 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/07-1.png\" alt='' width=\"796\" height=\"445\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8140 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Gerda-2022.png\" alt='' width=\"147\" height=\"147\" \/><\/h2>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>Gerda BEZIADE<\/strong> has an incredible passion for wine, and possesses a perfect knowledge of Bordeaux acquired within prestigious wine merchants for 25 years.
