Description

This is a supremely elegant, complex white that has enticing floral, citrus and toasted nut aromas. Very good acidity and a delicate mouth feel. Fruity finish with persistent freshness. 80% Viura / 20% Garnacha Blanca. The Garnacha Blanca comes from the calcareous clay soils of the San Gregorio Encina plot on the Contino Estate in Rioja Alavesa, which was planted in 1980. The Viura comes from different parts of the estate, from the alluvial, old pago of Lentisco, from the stony San Gregorio La Tabla and from La Finca de Santa María. All of these vines are between 35 and 40 years old. 54% of the Contino Blanco is placed in 500, 400 and 300 litre used French barrels. The rest of the wine, 46%, is aged in concrete. After 9 months they are unified again and aged in a stainlees steel tank until the bottling date.

Try with grilled sea bass or sardines. Perfect also with pizza, pasta, salads and picnics.
