95% Tempranillo - 5% Mazuelo
2019. Excellent
A vintage marked by a very positive vegetative cycle that resulted in optimal grape ripening, thanks to the excellent health and vegetative state of the vineyard and the condition of the clusters, loose, well aerated and accompanied by moderate plant vigor. The result was wines of extraordinary tannic maturity, high polyphenolic content, marked structure and intense color, excellent for the production of long-aged wines.
The vineyards that the Tempranillo came from are located in Fuenmayor, Cuzcurrita, Huércanos, and Hormilla.
An average of 30 years of age, they are dry-farmed and bush-trained. Different types of soil, mainly calcareous-clay and poor in organic matter.
The Mazuelo vineyard is located in Medrano. Bush-trained vines of more than 50 years of age, planted in sandy soil, with a greater concentration of organic material and good drainage.

Cured red cherries with a bit of a forest fruit compote, light red licorice notes, chewy spices, tobacco, and wet black tea leaf. Rich, structured and holding fine, lengthy tannins on the palate with acidity to balance it out and carry it. Really in a fine moment to drink. Tasted: 04/11/2022
Miquel Hudin. 94 Points.
Tempranillo: 8% of the must is bled off. Pre-fermentative maceration with the skins takes place over three days. Alcoholic fermentation took place at 26ºC, with controlled pumping-over and two weeks' post-fermentative maceration on the skins. Devatting under gravity. Malolactic fermentation took place in underground concrete tanks.
Mazuelo: Alcoholic fermentation in small stainless steel tanks, with prior bleeding-off of 10% of the must. Devatting under gravity. Malolactic fermentation took place in underground concrete tanks.
Tempranillo: aged for 24 months in mixed barrels (80% French oak and 20% American oak) with medium toasting.
Mazuelo: for 20 months in French oak barrels with a light toasting.
After final blending, the wine rests in the bottle for at least 20 months before release.
Bright ruby red, medium-high intensity, very unctuous in texture when swirled.
Intense aromas of ripe red fruit and aromatic herbs. An elegant bouquet that perfectly combines spiced hints with notes of vanilla and a background of cherries in liquor.
On the palate, Montecillo Reserva has a powerful attack and an elegant mouth feel. It has a good structure and velvety tannins. Hints of roasted coffee, vanilla and touches of resinous oils appear on the aftertaste, under the predominant notes of red fruit. A long, persistent finish.
