Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano.
Viña del Olivo aims to be the maximum expression of the Contino terroir as it is one of the few calcareous clay estates in Contino (the rest is almost all alluvial) with a very high content of active limestone, a slope of 5 to 7% with southern exposure, dry land and without the use of herbicides and organic fertilization. To make the Contino Viña del Olivo Reserva 2017 wine, the best clusters from the Olivo plot were manually selected (a specimen close to 700 years old), which were harvested in boxes with great care and selected on the table once they arrived at the winery. The aging lasted for 24 months in the barrel and 18 months in the bottle
TASTING
View: Cherry cherry color.
Nose: Great freshness of blackberry and currant type fruits with balsamic touches of menthol and licorice and some notes of almond.
Mouth: In the mouth it is structured, with some tannins yet to be polished but of a noble character, which give an idea of the good aging capacity of this wine, a nobility that comes out in an elegant passage through the mouth: balanced acidity, degree and body and a long and fruity finish.
Recommended temperature: 17-18ºC.
