Viñedos del Contino

Spain

Viñedos del Contino is a small-scale estate in Laserna, Rioja Alavesa, founded in 1973 at Finca San Rafael by CVNE and the Pérez Villota family. The winery works exclusively with estate-grown grapes, treating individual parcels separately from hand harvesting through fermentation and immediate processing. Its viticulture is described as environmentally responsible, although no formal certification is stated. The wines reflect a parcel-focused Rioja style, including Reserva, Gran Reserva, and Garnacha bottlings. Jesús Madrazo and Jorge Navascués are associated with the winemaking.
