Contino Viña del Olivo 2022
£81.31 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Viña del Olivo was produced with grapes from one of their most famous vineyards and is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo. It fermented in 1,000-liter oak vats, where it also underwent malolactic fermentation, and it matured for 18 months in oak barrels, 80% new, mostly French but with 5% of them American, and then was fine-tuned with another three months in the oak vats. 2022 was a challenging year for many vineyards, this one included, as there was a very long heat wave. This has a little more spice (cola nut) and perhaps a more classical profile than the 2021, with a touch of cold smoke. It has a moderate 13.65% alcohol a pH of 3.42 and 5.93 grams of acidity. 15,333 bottles, 800 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in June 2024.
