Rojo picota muy intenso, casi opaco, con ribetes violáceos. Capa cubierta y lágrima untuosa.
CONTADOR 2022
Tasting notes
Prodigioso y complejo. Fruta negra exuberante (mora, arándano, ciruela), violetas, especias finas, café y cacao. La expresión máxima del Tempranillo de Rioja Alta.
Deslumbrante. Taninos aterciopelados y envolventes, volumen extraordinario, acidez perfectamente integrada. Final interminable con capas de fruta, madera y mineral. Extraordinario.
16 - 18°C.
Description
Contador 2022 is the flagship wine of Bodegas Contador, winemaker Benjamín Romeo's personal project in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, in the Rioja D.O.Ca.
It is made with Tempranillo and Garnacha from the winery's own vineyards in the area. Fermentation and maceration take place in French oak vats, and it is aged in new French oak barrels from top-tier cooperages.
On the nose, it shows ripe red fruit, spicy nuances, and mineral touches with the subtle wood from its aging. On the palate, it is elegant and balanced, with a silky texture, polished tannins, freshness, and a long, harmonious finish.
A great wine for aging and pairing with red meats, game, and special occasions.
