The rare and famed Contino Viña del Olivo is a high-end Spanish red wine made from grapes coming exclusively from El Olivo estate.
Produced by Viñedos del Contino, this reserve red wine is made from a blend of Tempranillo and Graciano.
First, the grapes were destemmed and fermented in 10,000-litre oak vats at a temperature between 25 and 28ºC for 17 days.
Then this Reserva red wine from La Rioja was drawn-off and transferred into new French oak barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation.
After that, a portion of the wine was aged in those same barrels, another 20% was aged in American oak barrels, and the rest in Hungarian oak barrels. All were aged for 18 months, during which period the wine was racked three times.
Finally, Contino Viña del Olivo 2017 was aged for a minimum of 12 months in the bottle before its release.
We suggest that you decant this red wine from La Rioja 60 minutes before drinking.
Incidentally, this wine will evolve nicely over the next years.

| Nose | Very pure, this embodiment of classic Rioja made from Tempranillo and Graciano already begins with a deep mineral layer, over which some toasted and spicy notions combine with a strong remembrance of liquorice, finally giving way to some subdued aromas of bramble fruit, chocolate and aromatic herbs. |

| Our personal opinion | An absolute classic, Contino Viña del Olivo 2017 is the embodiment of good old Rioja. Bear in mind that the wine needs some years to fully come together. |
| Palate | Quite young, though already exhibiting finesse and poise, this reserve red wine by Contino is zippy and fresh, with wild berries, some deep mineral remembrances, many spicy notes and a long, pleasant finish. |
| Occasion | A special occasion, Romantic Dinner, To bring to an engagement |
