Description
In a nutshell:
A big and serious single estate Rioja Reserva with an impressive reputation.
The lowdown:
Whilst around 85% of the blend is Tempranillo Contino Reserva contains a higher Graciano content than many and this gives it a pleasing touch of freshness. Nevertheless is a lovely, big and serious Rioja Reserva with grapes sourced only from the Contino vineyards in Rioja Alavesa. Its already really concentrated, juicy and seductive, but if kept it for another few years more it'll improve even further.
The Producer:
Founded in 1879, CVNE, or 'Compañia Vinicola del Norte de España', has become a cornerstone of Spanish winemaking. Still based in Haro, where it all began, this family-run winery has maintained its roots while growing into one of Spains largest vineyard owners. Known for their exceptional Rioja, they produce under several labels: 'Cune', 'Imperial', 'Viña Real', and 'Contino'. And their wines are a byword for tradition and quality.
When to drink:
Great with grilled, or roasted red meats, casseroles, or mature cheese.
