Contino Estate Rioja 2005 - Case of 6
Product Code: 00577809
4.75"This is the very model of a modern Tempranillo-based red with classic hints of smoke and vanilla." Recommended by Anthony Rose, The Independent, December 2009
"At a recent tasting I was impressed by the bright freshness and seductively spicy qualities of this wine. These styles strike me as halfway between the new and old Spain." Recommended by Anthony Rose , The Independent
A rich and concentrated premium red Rioja with very ripe flavours of strawberry and raspberry, yet a mellow, rounded texture. Look out for hints of black pepper and vanilla on the satisfying, long finish
ABOUT THIS WINE:
This splendid red Rioja was made from a blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo grapes, grown in a single vineyard estate in the Alavesa area of this world-famous Spanish wine region. The estate lies in a spectacular meander of the River Ebro in an area that produces perfectly rich, ripe grapes, giving it great balance and finesse. It was matured in a mix of French and American oak barrels for at least 24 months. The winemaker was Jesús Madrazo.
SERVING:
Serve at room temperature. The best moment for this wine would be with roast leg of lamb, but also try it with pork casserole or hard cheeses such as farmhouse Cheddar or Spanish Manchego.
You must be 18 or over to purchase this product
