Bodega Contador Rioja DOC Alma 2021

Dark fruit register from the opening moments – a hum of bilberry, blackberry, cassis, with tobacco, sandalwood, vanilla bean, sweet and refined tannins, dried herb uplift through the finish. Oak is evident, but it works, and is part of the Rioja signature. Second vintage, Benjamin Romeo Hilera winemaker and owner from 5.5ha of 70-year-old vines set across three plots. Benjamin Romeo Hilera winemaker and director.
