It is made from the airén grape. The name of this grape may not sound familiar, but it covers the largest vineyard area in the world. It mainly grows in Spain, but until recently, wines bearing its name were rarely found there. The grape was mainly used for brandy production and to blend with other grape varieties. In blends, it lightens heavy wines made from tempranillo, for example. Thanks to new techniques in the vineyard and cellar, good wine can now be made from airén, such as this Contenda.
