2005. Excellent.
An excellent vintage in which the harvest took place with the greatest optimism throughout the entire region. Selected from an estate in the Rioja Alta region close to the winery, the grapes were chosen with pride due to their exceptional quality and great viticultural work carried out there. This wine reflects the personality and character of the brand.
A vineyard of more than 60 years of age, with a slope facing the midday sun, with calcareous-clay soil and numerous pebbles
ush-trained and watered only by natural rainfall. Exhaustive selection work was carried out to ensure each variety of grapes was picked at the optimal moment. Hand harvested and transported to the winery in small crates.

After selection on sorting tables, the grapes were vatted in underground cement tanks, to start alcoholic fermentation at 28ºC following several days' cold soaking. Precise and continuous pumping-over.
The wine was macerated on the grape skins for more than two weeks. The process was monitored with exhaustive tasting to ensure that the extraction of tannins and aromas were as desired.
The resulting full-bodied and powerful wine was racked before aging for 62 months (more than five years) in extra fine-grained French oak barrels. The barrels were selected after studying more than 40 options.
Once the wine had reached the full expression of its aging, Montecillo Gran Reserva Selección Especial 2005 was bottled to rest and evolve for a minimum of ten years before being released to market.
Intense ruby red, medium-bodied.
On the nose it is very complex with very intense aromas. A torrent of spiced oak, licorice root, black pepper, and tobacco. Notes of very ripe black fruit with a slight touch of wood-fire roasted bell pepper.
Its glycerin texture - creamy and powerful at the same time - envelops the palate with harmonious silkiness. A very long finish, with the aromas and flavors that mark it out as a very special wine.
