Contino Graciano 2015

HED31744 75cl 14%
Since 1994, Viñedos Contino has enthusiastically championed the Graciano variety and have made great efforts to ensure it did not become extinct in the Rioja region. This wine is made from 100% Graciano hand-harvest from the 3.7-hectare San Gregorio Grande plot which was planted in 1979 and 1989. It was matured for 15 months in 90% French and 10% Hungarian oak barrels, of which 100% was new.

Intense cherry red in colour, it has bold and expressive aromas of red and black fruits, spices and subtle toasty oak. Mid-weight and juicy, with refreshing acidity and ultrafine tannins, this is an ideal wine to pair with slow roasted lamb.

CVNE

CVNE is a family-run company, founded in March 1879 in Haro, Rioja by Eusebio and Raimundo Real de Asúa. The Real de Asúa brothers’ aim was to capitalise on the flourishing new trade in wine and over 140 years later CVNE is still under the stewardship of the direct descendants of the founding family, now in its fifth generation.

Wines produced under the CVNE label include "Cune" a label inspired by an early mis-spelling of the CVNE name; "Monopole", a superb white Rioja; "Corona", a rare sweet white produced using grapes affected by noble rot; "Real de Asúa", a sister wine to the famous Imperial range; "Vina Real", premium red and white Rioja produced from grapes sourced in the Alavesa sub-region; "Pagos de Viña Real", CVNE's top tier Rioja first released in 2001; and "Contino", a Rioja produced using grapes sourced exclusively from a 62 hectare estate near Laserna.
