Contino - Rioja Gran Reserva 2017 (750ml) Santo Lemony acidity balances the lushAn exceptional Gran Reserva from this top estate in Rioja. The 2017 has wonderful harmony and creamy, vanilla aromas from ageing in classy new French oak for two years, which supports the deep dark fruit. A wine of incredible generosity which is a delight to drink now but with the structure to age for years. It is a traditional blend of 82% tempranillo, 10% graciano, 5% mazuelo and 3% garnacha.
