Origin and D.O.
Churn in the D.O.Ca. Rioja at the prestigious Viñedos del Contino estate, located in a bend of the Ebro River in Laguardia (Rioja Alavesa). Its assorted soils — sandy loam, clay, and stony — give the wine a uniquely diverse character.
Grape Varieties
Primarily Tempranillo, complemented by Graciano and other native varieties. All grapes are manually harvested from micro-parcels that reflect the richness of the terroir.
Vinification and Aging
Hand-harvested in small boxes, then chilled to 12 °C for 24 hours. Optical grape-by-grape sorting. Fermented by plot in small stainless steel and concrete tanks. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (95%) and American oak (5%), obeyed by further refinement in bottle before release.
Producer Profile: Viñedos del Contino
A pioneer of the "château" concept in Rioja since 1973, Contino integrates vineyard, estate, and winery in a single location. Founded by CVNE, it combines tradition, precision, and sustainability to produce wines that faithfully depict their origin.
Vintage 2020: Expression of Balance and Freshness
A yield marked by abundant rain, mild temperatures, and full ripening. Harvested between September 2 and October 8. Grapes indicated excellent freshness, good acidity, and generous fruit volume. A wine with great aging potential.
