Montecillo Gran Reserva 2015

This wine comes from goblet-grown vines in poor soils with a sandy texture in the Rioja Alta area. They are over 35 years old on average and yields do not exceed 5500kg/ha. The grapes are carefully harvested and transported to the winery in small containers. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28ºC, prior bleeding and long maceration of three weeks in contact with the skins. Ageing in French and American oak barrels (90%-10%) for 28 months and subsequent refining in the bottle for at least four years until leaving the cellar. Ruby red with marked meniscus. Excellent brightness and limpidity. On the nose, after its first contact with oxygen, it is shy and frank. Notes of sweet wood, cinnamon, clove and candied fruits appear. Endless nuances that change over time. In the mouth it is subtle and pleasant, with great finesse on the entry and passage. Extremely polished tannin and serene acidity that maintains a long aftertaste.
