Contino Gran Reserva 300cl 2011

HED54005 300cl 14%
Viñedos Contino is widely considered one of the key producers of the Rioja wine revolution and has energetically championed the ‘château’ concept in the region whereby wines are made from a single estate. The 2011 Gran Reserva was only bottled in magnums or larger formats and is a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano, 12% Garnacha and 3% white variety Viura, aged in seasoned oak for three years followed by a further three years in bottle. It is rich, ripe and hedonistic, reflective of the warm vintage, but has admirable freshness and generous tannic framework. A classically styled yet superbly well executed Rioja that is ready to drink but will happily continue to evolve over the next decade.

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.
