Aromatic intensity and a great deal of complexity. It displays a torrent of spiced oak, liquorice sticks, black pepper and tobacco, followed by powerful notes of very ripe black fruit and a light touch of pepper roasted in a wood oven. Its glycerine texture-both creamy and robust-envelopes the palate and transforms into silkiness and harmony on its passage through the mouth. Long finish, the undertaste is a delight, offering us with the flavours and aromas of a very special 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-almost 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 nest wines.
Excellent with red meat, wild game, cured ib rico pork and mature cheeses.
