Wine Description:
Contino Vina del Olivo 2021 is a refined and prestigious red wine from the renowned Rioja region of Spain. This exceptional blend of 90% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, and 5% Mazuelo grapes showcases the artistry of Rioja winemaking. Aged for 17 months in a mix of French, American, and Hungarian oak casks, followed by over a year in bottle, the wine delivers depth, complexity, and elegance in every sip.
The wine opens with a striking ruby red colour, youthful and vibrant, with medium-high clarity. On the nose, it presents an intense bouquet of spice, transitioning into dark fruit aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant. As the wine evolves, it reveals balsamic notes of aniseed, mint, and liquorice, adding a layer of sophistication and intrigue.
On the palate, Contino Vina del Olivo 2021 offers a rich and broad mouthfeel, supported by fine tannins that promise excellent aging potential. The wine is vinous and well-structured, with a lingering aftertaste of ripe fruit and subtle cocoa tones, making it a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
