Contino Garnacha

Our Garnacha grapes were hand harvested on the 11th
October, with selection taking place both in the vineyard and
again later on a selection table in the winery. A prefermentation cold soak took place in large format French oak
vessels until fermentation began spontaneously, this taking
ten days to complete. The wine remained in the vat for six
months following which it was racked to barrels of 225 litres of second use.

2019 has been a year marked by low rainfall, slightly below
average. At the end of May there was rainfall that hindered
fruit set in some varieties that were in full bloom. This, together with the plant's water stress,
produced loose clusters and small berries. Temperatures throughout the growing season
reflected the fact that the winter was not very cold, but the summer was characterized by heat
waves. Harvest began on September 11th with the earliest white varieties and ended on October
7th with red varieties. This season was characterized by very favorable weather throughout the
harvest. It is expected to be a great vintage in terms of quality.
