Jeb Dunnuck om: Rioja Tinto Contino Reserva

There’s no Crianza version of Contino. The 2021 Reserva is made from microplots of the estate handpicked for this wine, comprised of mostly Tempranillo with Mazuelo, Graciano, and Garnacha. Silky, salty, concentrated red and dark fruit mingles with dried herb and earthy mineral, a medium-bodied, freshly high-toned red made in a modern style aged 16 months in French oak, 80% new. Drink now through 2033.

Heiner Lobenberg om:
Rioja Tinto Contino Reserva 2021

CVNE har for mange år siden oprettet Contino, en lille eksklusiv vingård i Rioja, på samme måde som Murietta gør det med Ygay. Lidt tradition, men ellers det allernyeste inden for moderne vinproduktion. Contino er en stort set ukendt perle i absolut topklasse, en perfekt symbiose mellem tradition som hos Tondonia eller Remelluri og modernitet som hos Telmo Rodriguez Selección Parcellaires eller Sierra Cantabria. Denne betagende charmerende Reserva blev efter håndplukningen først gæret i rustfrit stål og derefter modnet på fad i en blanding af fransk og amerikansk eg. To års modning i disse fade samt yderligere to års modning på flaske resulterer i en dybrød Rioja. Intens duft af røde frugter understreget af en diskret røget note. En dansende drømmevin med en enorm eftersmag, fineste kirsebær, skovbær og salt i den lange eftersmag.

Årsrapporten

Den yderst aromatiske, enestående årgang 2021 begejstrer i Spanien med en friskhed, der er uden sidestykke. Efter sommerens tørkestress bragte et gyldent, køligt efterår det sensationelle vendepunkt. De tykskallede druer leverer langtidsholdbare vine fulde af karakter, modne tanniner og livlig syre.

Parker om: Rioja Tinto Contino Reserva

The 2021 Reserva was produced with a blend of 86% Tempranillo, 6% Graciano, 6% Mazuelo and 2% Garnacha from many small plots selected by their ripeness, acidity and concentration. The grapes fermented in small concrete and stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts, and it matured in 225-liter French and 5% American oak barrels for 18 months. It has the complexity, power and freshness of the 2021s. They aim for a renewed classical style. It comes in at 14% alcohol, with a pH of 3.62 and 5.35 grams of acidity, and like the 2018, it's a fresher wine reflecting a cooler year, with super elegant, sleek and polished tannins. Superb! 30,600 bottles and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in May 2024.

Suckling om: Rioja Tinto Contino Reserva

Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, crushed stones and dried flowers. Medium- to full-bodied with crunchy fruit, chewy tannins, drive and excellent length. Terra cotta and stones come through at the end. Better in two or three years.

Tim Atkin om: Rioja Tinto Contino Reserva

Contino's Reserva is its best-selling wine, accounting for 85% of its sales. Made with components from the whole estate, it's a judicious cuvée of 86% Tempranillo, 6% Mazuelo, 6% Graciano and 2% Garnacha. The French and 5% American oak are well done here, adding some perfume to a palate of summer berries, vanilla spice and dried herbs. Focused and well balanced.
