montecillo rioja crianza 2019 750ml

Winemaker Notes:
Bright garnet red, with a noticeable purple rim. Nose with a very clear presence of ripe red fruit and stone fruits, such as cherry. After a light aeration, traces of fruit jam appear, followed by sweet notes of coconut and patisserie. Silky on the palate, with sublime tannins from start to finish, and a richness of texture from the high glycerol content. Long and persistent, with clean and enjoyable fruit notes appearing again, followed by palate enveloping tannins.

Montecillo Crianza is a classic Rioja, complex and balanced - perfect for enjoying during any occasion. All the wines are crafted to enjoy a long bottle life. The wines continue to age in the bottle longer than those from other wineries in the region. Montecillo is also renowned for its female winemaker, oenologist Mercedes Garcia. Her love and passion for wine is evident in the care and quality that goes into making her wines.

Blend: 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha, 5% Graciano

Critical Acclaim:
90 points - Wine Enthusiast
"Fresh berry and red plum aromas are lifted by complementary notes of oak grain and vanilla. This value-priced crianza from a very good year feels flush but primed by punchy acidity. Red plum, berry and a hint of wood spice make for a classic Rioja flavor profile, while this remains tasty and fresh on the finish."
