One of DOCa Rioja’s all-time classics, Contino Reserva is made from a blend of Tempranillo and Graciano, with a dollop of Grenache and Mazuela (aka Carignan).
The grapes come solely from the Viñedos del Contino estate. Located in Laserna, in the heart of La Rioja Alavesa, the château-style winery comprises 62 hectares of vineyards around an old manor house.
The 2018 vintage of this Spanish red wine was considered «Good» by the Rioja regulatory board.
Meticulously harvested and selected, once in the cellar the grapes were destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a temperature between 28ºC and 30ºC. After a period of 20 days, this Rioja red wine was transferred into used American (40%) and French (60%) oak barrels, where it remained for 2 years.
Finally, Contino Reserva 2018 was aged for 24 months in the cellar prior to its commercial release.
We suggest that you decant this reserva red wine 1 hour before drinking.

| Our personal opinion | A wine of impeccable reputation, Contino Reserva 2018 feeds the body and tingles the soul. |
| Palate | This wine of Viñedos del Contino, a branch of Grupo CVNE, is lush and textured, with dim toasted notes, sweet spices and fresh notes of balsam, alongside fresh flavours of red fruit. Ripe, sweet tannins and well-balanced acidity. Long, subtle finish with some remembrances of dry earth, smoke and spices. |
