Contino Reserva Rioja

We've long loved the wines from Contino, and proudly stock this consistently impressive Reserva, as well as their Gran Reserva and iconic Vina del Olivo. Unlike many producers who blend wine from across the region, often with purchased fruit, this is effectively a single estate Rioja. Indeed, it was the first producer to take this approach back in 1972, with all fruit sourced from their own vineyards surrounding Finca de San Rafael. Tempranillo provides soft, plush, red fruit, whilst Graciano adds real freshness and lift. A mix of French and American oak adds the rest. A hugely satisfying red and exceptional value for money.
