Perfumed, structured, refreshing and self-assured, it has appealing top notes of coffee bean and lavender, finely wrought tannins and flavours of blackberry, thyme and cassis. A delicious wine that will only get better. 2028-38!”  \u003cstrong\u003e96pts, Tim Atkin MW Rioja Report 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2023 Viña del Olivo was produced with grapes from one of their most famous vineyards, harvested the 28th of September. It's a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, fermented in 1,000-liter oak vats, where it also underwent malolactic fermentation. It matured for 18 months in oak barrels, 80% new, mostly French but with 5% of them American, then it was fine-tuned with another three months in the oak vats. This is extremely young and undeveloped, with notes of smoky bacon, toast and spices with a core of ripe berry fruit. It has full ripeness and hits the scale at 14.6% alcohol (2022 was much lower), with a pH of 3.55 and 5.51 grams of acidity. This is a very powerful year that is going to require patience, but it has the stuffing and the balance between the components to develop nicely in bottle. It's still a little tannic.\" 96pts Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContino Viña del Olivo is produced from the best bunches of grapes hand-harvested from our Olivo vineyard (a 700-year-old vineyard, located next door to an ancient olive tree, giving the wine its name). The grapes are carefully harvested in crates and sorted meticulously upon arrival at the winery. Next, the grapes are fermented in 100-hectolitre French oak vats at a temperature of 28-30ºC for ten days, after a further ten days of maceration. The grapes then undergo malolactic fermentation for 15 days in new French oak barrels (85%) and American oak barrels (15%). Finally, the wine is then aged for 16 months before being transferred to wooden vats for three months. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatch Mansfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743796932900,"sku":"ContinoOlivo21","price":79.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/8388\/7652\/files\/Screenshot_20_28170_29.png?v=1713878895","url":"https:\/\/nywines.co.uk\/products\/contino-rioja-vina-del-olivo-2023","provider":"NYWines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
