Contino San Rafael Garnacha 2022 is a red wine from Rioja Alavesa made by Viñedos del Contino exclusively from Garnacha grown in the San Gregorio Encina and Viña Laserna parcels. Its clay-limestone and stony soils contribute to its fresh, mineral profile. On the nose it stands out for aromas of red fruit, balsamic herbs and hints of scrubland. On the palate it is broad, fresh and balanced, with marked acidity, mineral and slightly saline character, as well as silky, well-integrated tannins. It is aged for 16 months in foudres, 500-litre barrels and concrete tank. It comes in a 75 cl bottle and belongs to the D.O.Ca. Rioja. An elegant, food-friendly Garnacha, made to accompany different dishes and enjoy the expression of Rioja Alavesa.
