CVNE Contino Blanco

With Contino Blanco, we want to return to the traditional Rioja whites with ageing potential, balance and freshness. A wine that is not overly woody with a predominantly floral and fruity aroma combined with structure and character provided by the barrel tannins and fat from the concrete egg tank. The Contino white wine is produced from Viura and Garnacha Blanca grapes. The Garnacha Blanca grape is harvested from the San Gregorio Encina estate, planted in 1980 on calcareous clay soil. The Viura comes from different areas of Contino, including the alluvial soils of the old Lentisco estate, the stony soils of the San Gregorio La Tabla, and the Santa María estate. All the vineyards are between 35 and 40 years old. 90% viura 10% garnacha blanca Contino Blanco 2021 is of high aromatic complexity, with a deep nose where the fruity and toasted aromas stand out. On the palate, the wine is round and elegant, with a vibrant acidity and salinity, which will give it logevity in the future. The wine reflects the essence of our vineyard San Gregorio. 92 Points - Guia Penin
