Parker über: Rioja Tinto Contino Reserva

-- Parker: The 2020 Reserva was produced with grapes from different plots on the property that were picked early and, between that and the higher yields of the year, resulted in a wine with 13.77% alcohol, quite low for a very warm year. It is composed of 86% Tempranillo, 6% each Mazuelo and Graciano and 2% Garnacha. It fermented by plot in stainless steel and concrete vats and matured for 18 months in oak barrels, mostly French but with 5% of them American. It feels fresh and harmonious, with some developed aromas, a minty touch of freshness and a medium to full-bodied palate that calls for food. It has depth and precision and is hedonistic, a notch above the 2019 despite the challenges of the year. A triumph over the vintage. 298,648 bottles and 5,000 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2023. 94/100

Tim Atkin über: Rioja Tinto Contino Reserva

-- Tim Atkin: By far the dominant style at Contino in terms of sales, accounting for 90% of the bodega's output, this well-judged blend combines Tempranillo, 6% each of Graciano and Mazuelo and 2% of Garnacha. Aged in older French and 8% American oak, it's more refined and powerful than some recent releases, with some chalky freshness, good focus and precision, wild herb, plum and mulberry fruit and enough structure to age in bottle. 2024-31 93/100

Mein Winzer

Bodegas Contino

Die Bodegas Contino liegt in Laserna auf Schwemmland mit viel Kalkeinsprengseln und Kieseln nahe des Ebro, in einer Flussschleife unterhalb Laguardias in der Rioja Alavesa, der vom Terroir und Mikroklima klar besten Region der Rioja und damit Spaniens.
