Viña del Olivo aims to be the maximum expression of Contino’s terroir as it is one of the few calcareous clay estates in Contino. It's made from 40-year-old vines, aged in French, American and Hungarian oak over 17 months and left in the bottle for over a year. As a result, it's complex, rich and truly indulgent.
Grape Varietals: 69% Tempranillo, 23% Graciano, 8% Mazuelo
Wine Region: Rioja, Spain
Tasting Notes: It has a very intense nose with a spicy touch and blackberry and red fruit aromas and a hint of balsamic and liquorice richness. On the palate it's really full and quite creamy while the mature tannins hold everything together really well before leading to a long finsh with savoury notes of tobacco and cedar.
Food Pairing: Grilled and roasted red meat, or strong mature cheeses.
