Ontanon Contrebia Tempranillo Blanco 2023 75cl

Tasting Note

Delicate citrus and white flower aromas with a hint of orange blossom. The palate is soft and round with ripe stone fruit characters, gentle acidity and an elegant, lengthy finish.

Producer

Bodegas Ontañón is a 5th generation family-owned and run winery in Rioja Baja (now Rioja Oriental). Here Raquel, Rubén and Maria Pérez Cuevas continue their father Gabriel's work to develop Bodegas Ontañón into one of the most highly-regarded wineries in Rioja. Ontañón has vast swathes of vineyard in this part of Rioja. Whilst wine production in the region is typically very dependent on contracts with grape growers, the Pérez Cuevas family has seen fit to invest heavily in the purchase of its own land and vines. Its 250ha is a testament to the importance it places on controlling grape quality.
