Max Delivery Cost* - £9.99 *more info

Contino Mazuelo is made with the best grapes from the �Don Vicente� plot located in our San Rafael estate vineyards. The aim is to extract the full potential of this grape variety. After destemming, the grapes undergo a cold maceration for 24-48 hours until the alcoholic fermentation begins spontaneously in a raw concrete tanks, at a controlled temperature throughout the process, with very few pump-overs. The malolactic fermentation is also carried out naturally. The wine is aged for 16 months in 100% French oak barrels, of which 80% is new and the remaining 20% is of second use.

Contino, the first château in Rioja, was founded in 1973 by the century-old CVNE winery and the owners of the 62-hectare estate in Rioja Alavesa. The history of the property, which dates to the 16th century, is reflected in the winery’s name. The officer in charge of the one hundred soldiers who looked after the royal family continuously (or “de contino“), from the Catholic Monarchs era onwards, was known as the “contino”. Its rich history also tells how Saint Gregory (the patron saint of vineyards) once passed through this Riojan estate, which is why his figure appears on the winery’s logo, and some of the vineyard plots on the estate bear his name.

The fruity and elegant wines produced on this estate reflects the finest winemaking traditions in La Rioja. The wines are produced through an individualised harvesting process using grapes exclusively grown in the vineyards surrounding the old manor house that define their provenance. The perfect combination of soils, Atlantic-Mediterranean climate and refined technique have made Contino a point of reference in Spain and abroad more than thirty years after the first vintage.
