Contino Rioja Blanco 2017

90POINTS

16^½/20

Rioja, SpainThe cork is a signal they are serious about this wine, though putting it under screwcap would likely allow it to soar in restaurants and at retail in Canada. Nevertheless, this is a terrific bottle of wine. The mix is viura and garnacha blanca, with a soft sheen of lees and a creamy almond texture that would suggest some wood ageing, but there is none. The entry is all about light yellow fruits mixed with crisper green apple notes and a lime citrus finish. Love the styling here and the finesse. A proper fish wine.Tasted: 03 April 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
