Contino San Gregorio Blanco 2022

Contino San Gregorio Blanco Spain White Wine is from Rioja Alavesa, made from Viura and Garnacha Blanca. It is well suited for dinner parties, special occasions and sharing over a meal, and pairs well with seafood, white fish, roast poultry and rice dishes.

History of the Wine
The wine evolved from Contino's white wine project, first developed in 2006, with the 2022 vintage taking the San Gregorio Blanco name as the estate moved towards a more traditional style of Rioja white with restrained oak influence. Its name is connected to San Gregorio, the patron saint of vineyards who, according to local tradition, passed through the Contino estate and subsequently gave his name to vineyard parcels on the property. The wine brings together Viura from selected Contino parcels with Garnacha Blanca from San Gregorio, linking its identity directly to the estate's historic vineyards in Rioja Alavesa.
