Iconic Spanish wine producer CVNE (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) traces its roots back to 1879! Since that time it has achieved a well-deserved reputation as a producer of high quality, complex Rioja.

While many are familiar with the impressive CVNE, Viña Real and Imperial wines, CVNE's Viñedos del Contino is particularly notable because it was the first Rioja wine to be produced from a single vineyard. The Contino estate, located in Rioja Alavesa, is 62 hectares and has exceptional terroir. Contino's top wine is the highly-acclaimed Viña del Olivo, which is produced from a selection of top fruit from the Contino estate's best vineyard site. I'm very excited to taste this special wine, which is often discussed as one of the best wines in Spain, for the first time on Monday during an Instagram Live session with Victor Urrutia, CVNE's CEO!
