Spring rains ensured the development of the vines during the first phases of the cycle of the grapes that went into our Viña Monty Gran Reserva 1975. Ideal summer temperatures enabled the grapes to fully ripen, with the harvest taking place in mid-October.

Located in Cenicero, on the banks of a bend in the Ebro River, with sandy-textured chalk soil. The vines are more than 50 years old.
