Viñedos del Contino (CVNE)
Rioja Contino Variedad Graciano
La Rioja Alavesa, La Rioja, Spain
Tasting well with salt and peppery food. Had it in Rioja and thought it was offensive and rustic but tasting so much smoother now! Deepest purple hue with a light but significant finish. Rare wine because it is a single vineyard 100% Graciano, not a blend. They normally blend this grape to give more fullness to wines of Rioja. Excited because it even pairs well with mom’s stinky radish kimchi (총각김치)
