Montecillo Gran Reserva Rioja DOC

Montecillo Gran Reserva Rioja is a classic Rioja, full of flavour and elegantly complex. This wine comes from plots of bush-trained vines on poor, sandy textured soils in the Rioja Alta area. The vines are Tempranillo and Graciano  an average of more than 35 years old and low yields. Ageing takes place in French and American oak barrels (90%-10%) over 28 months, followed by subsequent bottle conditioning for at least 4 years until it is leaves the winery.

Made only in the very best vintages, this Gran Reserva wine reflects the finest Riojan traditions, elegance and classicism. An extraordinarily complex and expressive wine that brims with different nuances. Aged for at least two years in French oak barrels and more than 40 months in the bottle. Subtle and silky, with polished, velvety tannins and notes of resin and candied fruit.

Aromas of black cherry and butterscotch set the stage for further black cherry, pomegranate, caramel and coffee-bean flavors with a hint of cured bacon. Plush tannins build in volume and slowly drop away to showcase a violet-strewn finish.
