Color : Lemon yellow with greenish highlights, clean and bright.
Aroma & Palate : A pure sensation of fruit on the nose, ripe peach wrapped in citrus notes and a finish of ripe pear. On the palate, its enthralling acidity and great extract make a powerful impact upon entry. It then bursts with an explosion of delicious fruit: peach, attractive citrus notes and a lovely silkiness. The characteristic saline note of great wines made with this variety, which makes them so good with food, makes a clear appearance on the finish. A very seductive wine.
In the second half of the 19th Century, a handful of enthusiasts explored production methods in Bordeaux and set about replicating them, thus creating modern Rioja. One of these visionaries was Celestino Navajas, the founder of our winery.
Today - 150 years after its foundation - Bodegas Montecillo has built upon this visionary character to travel outside Rioja, offering a carefully curated selection of the most fashionable grape varietals and finest wines.
The clean flavours of Albariño are very versatile and partner well with typical local dishes such as Galician style octopus or
scallops. It is ideal with white meat and vegetables, seafood, clams, oysters and ovenbaked fishes.
Serving Temperature: 9°C - 12°C.
