Tasting Notes

Montecillo’s Rioja Reserva DOCa combines intensity and aromatic finesse with a rich body. Cured red cherries with forest fruit compote, light red licorice notes, chewy spices, tobacco, and wet black tea leaf. Fine, lengthy tannins on the palate with acidity to balance it out.

Winemaking

Ageing takes place in French and American oak barrels (65% – 35%), 24 months for the Tempranillo and 22 months for the Mazuelo. The final blend is made just before bottling and then it spends at least two years ageing in the bottle.
