Bodegas Contino Description

Winemaker Notes

Very intense aromas of red mature fruits such as cherry and redcurrant, menthol, mineral, spices, and slight balsamic notes. Inside the mouth we find a dense texture with a sweet and unctuous entrance. Soft tannins of fruit and wood, persistent on the palate with a well balanced ending.


The goal for the 2015 Garnacha was to create a wine that is floral and fresh. Bodegas Contino fermented the grapes in an oak vat and then matured in second and third year barrels, 400 and 500 liter oak barrels for one year, transferred to seasoned (4th & 5th year) neutral 225 and 500 liter barrels to complete 20 months in oak. It has the red fruit of Garnacha and the power, without the complexity. It's still young, though.
