Description:

Ribera del Duero is a complex land and harsh climate with unique conditions that produce, at high altitude, grapes of exceptional quality.

It was in 1981 when the couple Manuel Esteban Casado and Mª Ángeles Martín de la Rosa bought the Monte Alto farm, which has an exceptional location, between Valbuena and Pesquera de Duero. They had a clear vision of converting this agricultural livestock farm into a wine farm where they could dedicate themselves to making wines of the highest quality.

Semele is a new red wine. Made entirely from grapes from the Monte Alto estate . It shares the same winemaking philosophy with the rest of the wineries' wines, although seeking kindness, roundness, freshness, aromatic richness and varietal expression.

Tasting Notes:
Mild leather aromas blend with blackberry notes to form a structured wine with a hint of spiciness. It finishes with mostly ripe berry, tobacco, oak and vanilla flavors.

Food Matches: Perfect for stews, meats of all kinds, rice, pastas and legumes.
