2015. Very good.
The earliest harvest in the history of Rioja, it stands out for its freshness, elegance and noticeable aptitude for aging.
Good weather conditions throughout the entire growth cycle culminated in an exceptionally favorable September, with the perfect weather to ensure the final ripening of the grapes.
Tempranillo y Graciano
Tempranillo: Dry-farmed bush vines, over 40 years old on average, planted in the Rioja Alta, in towns with a long winemaking tradition: Fuenmayor, Cenicero, Baños de Ebro, Sajazarra, Cuzcurrita, and Arenzana. Poor, sandy textured soils with little organic matter in the Rioja Alta area. The vines are more than 40 years old and the yields do not exceed 5,500kg/ha.
Graciano: Vineyards in the Pradejón area in Rioja Oriental, near to a meander of the River Ebro, at 360 meters altitude, where the climate is much more Mediterranean and the soils contain a lot more clay.

Aromas of black cherry and butterscotch set the stage for further black cherry, pomegranate, caramel and coffee-bean flavors with a hint of cured bacon. Plush tannins build in volume and slowly drop away to showcase a violet-strewn finish.

Tempranillo: Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28ºC, with prior bleeding-off of 10% of the must. Cold pre-fermentative maceration over three weeks. After fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the skins for approximately three more weeks.
Graciano: Alcoholic fermentation in small truncated-cone steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with post-fermentative maceration in order to ensure ripe and balanced tannins as well as great color intensity. Malolactic fermentation took place separately in underground concrete tanks.
Tempranillo: Aged for 30 months in medium-toast French oak barrels of a maximum of three years of age, seeking to maintain the fruity notes of the variety.
Graciano: Aged for 30 months in medium-high toast French oak barrels of a maximum of three years of age, seeking to ensure greater complexity, resinous, roasted coffee and spiced notes.
A beautiful shade of ruby red with cherry red highlights. Medium intensity with a clean, bright rim.
Montecillo Gran Reserva is tremendously clean on the nose. As the wine opens and aerates, we are gifted with infinite notes of fruit compote, vanilla, toasted bread, tobacco and nutmeg, becoming increasingly intense and powerful.
On the palate, the wine is silky and seductive but retains a structure and acidity that carry through spectacularly. Polished tannins. Exquisite quality oak leads on the aftertaste. Very long, it leaves a silky texture and fresh flavors on the finish.
