Contino Viña del Olivo is crafted from the finest hand-selected grapes grown in the iconic Viña del Olivo vineyard, home to a 700-year-old olive tree. Grapes are harvested in small crates to preserve quality and are carefully sorted upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation takes place in 100-hL French oak vats at 28–30ºC over ten days, followed by a further ten days of maceration to enhance complexity.

Malolactic fermentation occurs in new oak barrels (85% French, 15% American) over 15 days. The wine is then aged for 16 months in barrel and an additional 3 months in large wooden vats to polish its structure and balance.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red in color. The nose is elegant and layered, with aromas of ripe black fruit, spice, and subtle vanilla and toast from barrel aging. The palate is structured and harmonious, with fine-grained tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Food Pairing
A perfect match for roasted red meats, game, and rich dishes with earthy or umami elements.
