For Contino, nothing is more modern than a renewed classic. The Contino Reserva is an excellent example of this philosophy. Produced from a variety of micro-vineyards in the area surrounding Viñedos del Contino with distinct soil types (alluvial, clay-limestone, saline and sandy). In constant search of the perfect harmony between vineyards situated in the privileged environment of Viñedos del Contino.
The 2019 vintage was marked by little rainfall, slightly below average. At the end of May, rainfall hindered fruit set in some varieties that were in full bloom. This, together with the plant’s water stress, produced loose clusters and small berries. Temperatures throughout the growing season reflected the fact that the winter was not very cold, but the summer was characterized by heat waves. This season was characterized by favorable weather throughout the harvest. It is expected to be a great vintage in terms of quality.
Contino Reserva 2019 is a faithful reflection of the selection of our best grapes, perfectly combining the richness of Tempranillo with the acidity and elegance of our Mazuelo and Graciano grapes. Complex and fresh nose, with an intense fruity touch, combined with balsamic and mineral aromas. A pleasant entry in the palate appears, silky and rounded tannins and a well balance between acidity and persistence.
