Wine Description:
In 1973, the 63-hectare Contino estate, initially founded as Sociedad Vinicola Laserna, was established by descendants of the Cunes family, known as the “Real de Asua,” who had long been involved in winemaking. The estate’s vineyards, with a history stretching back over a thousand years, were reinvented with a revolutionary Chateau concept in Rioja, where most wineries were then trade houses. In 2004, the estate was entirely rebuilt as San Rafael Estate with state-of-the-art facilities. Contino emphasized high-quality production with a focus on Graciano and Mazuelo varieties, contributing to the wine’s acidity and minerality. Today, the average age of the vines exceeds 50 years, with elegance remaining a core objective from the outset.

This is a full-bodied Spanish red from the legendary Bodega Contador (Benjamín Romeo). A classic Rioja blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha, this wine presents ripe dark fruit on the nose, with a hint of spice. On the palate, the flavor is bold and concentrated, with blackberry and plum notes, balanced acidity, and long, lingering tannins. In the glass, the wine is deep ruby in color, and it has excellent complexity and intensity. Enjoy now or cellar for the next 10 years.
