Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The white 2020 Blanco is a little closed, young, clean and tender with subtle oak. They produced a little bit more in 2020, and the wine has less oak and less buttery sensations, a change that started with the 2017 vintage, which seems to have found its style harvesting earlier to retain freshness; it has 13.04% alcohol and a low pH 3.23 and matured in larger oak containers, 500-liter oak barrels and some concrete for 12 months. It's floral and expressive, a blend of Viura with 20% Garnacha Blanca that they still consider work in progress but moving in the direction they want to go. 16,200 bottles and 100 magnums were filled in March 2022.

Features

Description

Contino Blanco is a white wine made from Viura and Garnacha Blanca grapes by the Viñedos del Contino winery, owned by the Sociedad Enológica del Norte de España (CVNE) in the D.O.Ca. La Rioja.
The garnacha blanca comes from the San Gregorio Encina estate from a vineyard planted in 1980 with calcareous clay soil. The Viura comes from different areas of the Contino from vineyards between 35 and 40 years old.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand, with the selection of the grapes in the vineyard and in the winery. Before alcoholic fermentation, cold maceration is carried out in contact with the grape skins.
Fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks and ends in 350 to 500-litre French oak barrels. The wine is aged for 13 months in barrels, with its skins and with two batonnages per week. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out in order to preserve its acidity.

Taste

The white wine Contino Blanco has a predominantly floral and fruity character; it is a wine with volume and freshness. In the mouth it is fresh, unctuous, with excellent acidity and a finish marked by a fruity character.

A crianza white wine that will surprise you.

It is a white wine produced by the Viñedos del Contino winery and a reference in the region of La Rioja, with which they want to return to the traditional whites of the region, with great ageing capacity, balance and freshness.
In the gastronomic field it is ideal as an accompaniment to smoked meats, rice dishes, baked white fish, cured cheeses and blue fish, among others.
