Montecillo Reserva is a Rioja crafted with extraordinary care that is true to itself, combining intensity and aromatic finesse with a rich body. Ageing takes place in French and American oak barrels (65% – 35%), 24 months in the case of the Tempranillo and 22 months for the Mazuelo. The final blend is made just before bottling and after this, it spends at least two years reductively ageing in the bottle before its release to market.

A wine with a classic and unmistakably Riojan profile. A symbol of our commitment to more than 150 years of history in a very special land. This blend of Tempranillo and Mazuelo rewards us with a memorable wine that surprises with its endless nuances.

Cured red cherries with a bit of a forest fruit compote, light red licorice notes, chewy spices, tobacco, and wet black tea leaf. Rich, structured and holding fine, lengthy tannins on the palate with acidity to balance it out and carry it.
