Contino Reserva 2019

Viñedos del Contino (hentet 17. okt. 2026): Contino Reserva 2019 – teknisk ark (producentens tekst, engelsk): Contino Reserva 2019 The vineyard Grapes are carefully handpicked from our best “microplots” on the estate. There are notable differences between the plots, not in terms of aspect but in the characteristics of their soils. We are constantly searching for the perfect connection between them in the privileged setting of Viñedos del Contino. Winemaking Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel and concrete tanks, which allows us to prepare each micro-plot separately depending on its optimal condition of harvest. Vintage / Harvest description 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. Tasting notes 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. • Type of wine: Red • Region of production: Rioja Alavesa • Year: 2019 • Grape varieties: 86% Tempranillo, 6% Mazuelo, 6% Graciano and 2% Garnacha • Bottle type: Bordelaise • Production and bottle size: 313,666 bot. 75cl. and 3,500 bot. 1,5l. • Contino vintage rating: Excellent • Alcoholic volume: 13.89% • Total acidity: 5.50 • pH: 3.58 • Volatile acidity: 0.59 • SO2 Free/Total: 32.6/90 Analytical data • Bottling date: March 2022 • Suitable for vegans Viñedos del Contino was born in 1973, establishing the “château” concept in the Rioja region.
