Montecillo Grand Reserva

Montecillo's Grand Reserva 2015 is a classically styled Rioja Tempranillo that showcases the depth and aging potential of Spain's most celebrated red wine region. The wine opens with dominant dark plum and red cherry aromatics, supported by subtle oak-derived vanilla and leather notes that speak to careful barrel aging. On the palate, medium-full body and medium tannins provide structure without heaviness, while medium-high acidity ensures freshness and food-friendliness. Tertiary tobacco and cedar notes hint at the wine's evolution in bottle, adding complexity and sophistication. This is a wine built for the table—particularly suited to grilled red meats, braised beef, and aged cheeses.
