At the end of the 19th Century, our founder, Celestino Navajas, made the first wines to bear our name in two handcrafted forged iron and oak vats. The smaller of the two vats gave rise to a wine that was aged in 22 oak barrels.
A tribute to our founders, their centuries-old legacy and winemaking philosophy, which has been studied with respect and adapted to the current day. A wine born from four parcels of vines, over 45 years old, as a blend of four varieties: Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha and Mazuelo. 6,600 bottles of an astounding Gran Reserva, which is lively, intense and flavorful and goes beyond the limits of classicism.
Tempranillo 45%, Graciano 35%, Garnacha 10% Mazuelo 10%.
2017. Very good.
This vintage will be remembered in many parts of Europe for the frost suffered on April 28th. A vintage marked by low yields and high quality fruit with low berry weight thanks to the absence of pests and diseases throughout the growing season. Wines with exceptional tannin concentrations and great aging capacity.
Vineyards in Fuenmayor, Navarrete, Medrano and Cenicero (Rioja Alta).
Bush trained and non-irrigated vines planted in ferrous clay soil with pebbles and sand. Very low levels of production, less than 4500 kg/ha. the average age of the four estates is over 50 years.

Very dark fruits and larger toasted notes on top of fresh laurel, black peppercorn, clove, a light touch of cinnamon, and burnt toffee. Quite mighty on the palate with the tannins still quite upright and in a moment of development. Best drank in minimum two years still.

Each grape variety that goes into our Montecillo 22 Barricas wine is hand-harvested in small crates at the optimum moment of ripeness and transported to the winery where it is vatted separately at a low temperature in small tanks.
Bleeding-off of the must takes place in these tanks, with double maceration over 28 days, both before and after fermentation in contact with the skins.
After this, malolactic conversion takes place in underground concrete tanks.
Each variety is aged for 34 months in new extra-fine grained French oak barrels from the Allier and Tronçais forests.
The best 22 barrels were selected for the final blend.
Aged in bottle for a minimum of 42 months to be rounded off in complete peace and total darkness.
Astonishingly intense and vibrant. A Gran Reserva that retains a deep hue, with a remarkably intense cherry red rim.
It stands out for its great intensity and tremendously elegant variety of aromas and nuances. Notes of spices and minerals intertwine with aromas of noble oak and ripe or stewed fruit, with hints of blackberry, blueberry and plum, over a background of toasted and resinous notes.
Silky and bold, with a pleasant level of acidity and juicy, polished tannins. It has a long, very harmonious and pleasurable finish, in which the fruit and notes of oak reappear.
