2021 Rioja Contino Blanco

Tasting notes:

Sourced from 35 to 40 years old vines and aged in a mix of large French oak barrels (no new) and concrete vats for 9 months. Aromas of white flowers, citrus and toasted nut. Delicate and elegant on the palate with some texture and a firm acidity.

Producer description:

Viñedos del Contino established the first "château" concept in Rioja back in 1973. The estate spreads across 62 hectares of up to 60 years old vines on terraces and has a great diversity of soils and grape varieties. They are known for being pioneers in producing single vineyard wines and vinified each plot separately before blending.
