About Contino Blanco

Contino Blanco is a white wine from D.O.Ca. La Rioja produced in Laserna, by the winery Viñedos del Contino, which is owned by the Winemaking Company of Northern Spain (CVNE).

 

In 1973, thanks to the work of CVNE and the family who owns the farm, Contino was born, the first "chateau" of Rioja. Viñedos del Contino is a combination of vineyards and wines, established in the surroundings of an old stately home on a meander of the river Ebro. Their wines are only made from the vines planted in their 62 hectares of vineyards, located in Laserna, Laguardia, in the Rioja Alavesa.

 

Contino Blanco is a wine made from Viura, White Grenache and Malvoisie. Each variety comes from a different farm with a different kind of soil, and from vines that are between 35 and 40 years old.

Harvesting is carried out manually, selecting the grapes in the vineyard and in the winery. Before alcoholic fermentation, it goes through cold maceration in contact with its skins. Fermentation begins in stainless steel deposits and ends in 350 to 500-litre French oak barrels. It is aged for 6 or 7 months in barrels, with its skins and with 2 batonnages per week. It does not go through malolactic fermentation to preserve its acidity.

 

Contino Blanco is a meaty wine, with volume and freshness. Very ripe white fruit notes elegantly blended with notes of roasted dried fruit. It is a reference white wine in this region.

2021

Contino Blanco 2021 unveils an aromatic spectrum dominated by ripe fruits, complemented by herbaceous and balsamic undertones, with subtle floral and smoky nuances. On the palate, its texture is velvety, yet lighter than in previous vintages, coupled with a pronounced acidity that is exceedingly invigorating. The harmony between its maturity and zest renders it an urbane and approachable white wine, culminating in a chalky, dry finish.
2020

Contino Blanco 2020 is a wine with great aromatic intensity and ripe white fruit accompanied by subtle notes of brioche, floral aromas and hints of butter. The palate is fresh and fruity, with great complexity and volume. A white wine that accurately represents the identity of the vineyard it comes from, with creaminess and elegance.
2019 Contino Blanco 2019 is an intense and multifaceted wine, boasting a highly expressive bouquet brimming with citrus fruits, floral undertones, and aromatic nuances derived from its oak aging. The palate is greeted with a silky and fruity embrace. This white wine astonishes with its superb acidity, creamy texture, and distinct sophistication.
