The Owner's Reserve

Over time the scarcity of our older vintages means they are no longer available for wide distribution. However, the quality of these wines continues to improve through their slow ageing process.

To allow our customers to continue enjoying these unique vintages, in the tradition of the Contado, we have set aside in our cellar a small Owner’s Reserve which remains available exclusively on our web site until these wines are completely gone. These distinct wines are for the enjoyment of the nostalgic who might have already appreciated them or for new customers that want to get a flavor of our past creations.

Enjoy them while you can!
