        Description

        Single Estate Rioja Reserva from a legendary producer. 

        Background

        Viñedos del Contino was born in 1973, establishing the “château” concept in the Rioja region. Its wines are made exclusively from the vines planted on its 62 hectares. The estate’s vineyards embrace its ancestral home within a meander in the River Ebro, located in Laserna, near the village of Laguardia in the Rioja Alavesa winemaking region.

        Tasting notes

        "Contino Reserva 2019 is a faithful reflection of the selection of our best grapes, perfectly combining the richness of Tempranillo with the acidity and elegance of our Mazuelo and Graciano grapes. Complex and fresh nose, with an intense fruity touch, combined with balsamic and mineral aromas. A pleasant entry in the palate appears, silky and rounded tannins and a well balance between acidity and persistence."

        Winemaking

        "Grapes are carefully handpicked from our best “microplots” on the estate. There are notable differences between the plots, not in terms of aspect but in the characteristics of their soils. We are constantly searching for the perfect connection between them in the privileged setting of Viñedos del Contino. Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel and concrete tanks, which allows us to prepare each micro-plot separately depending on its optimal condition of harvest. Aged 18 months in French (90%) and American (10%) oak barrels.

        Food pairings

        A great match for a wide selection meat dishes, especially roast lamb.
