Mazuelo

2020 Rioja Carignan

The Contino Mazuelo, made from the Carignan varietal, offers an enticing glimpse into the heart of Rioja with its vibrant red color. This wine showcases a medium body that adds to its overall presence without overwhelming the palate. With bright and lively acidity, it refreshes the senses while balancing the rich, fruit-forward profile that includes notes of dark berry and spice. The tannins are notable yet soft, providing structure while allowing the fruit to shine through gracefully. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an excellent companion for various dishes. Contino Mazuelo is a delightful expression of the region's unique terroir and winemaking tradition, promising an enjoyable experience with every sip.

Spain

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
