Description:

Montebuena is a privileged place for the cultivation of the vineyard, located in Labastida about 500 meters above sea level on clay-calcareous soils. Our vineyards occupy 80 hectares surrounding the beautiful rock press, where the grapes were trampled centuries ago.

Made with the best old vineyards of Montebuena' s Tempranillo. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 4 days and subsequent spontaneous fermentation. Aging for 18 months in French and American oak barrels.

COLOUR A highly intense and deep core of dark cherry with a pinkish edge. Bright and clean.
NOSE Complex, with good intensity. Over a background of ripe fruit, one notices notes of cocoa, wild fruit (dark cherries), smoke and liquor. As it stays in the glass, mineral and balsamic notes begin to arise.
PALATE Full of flavour on the attack with a base of wild ripe berries as the principal sensation, similar to a mix of jam, candy and marinated plums. Light, velvety feel, with a liquorice finish.
FOOD PAIRING Pairs well with poultry, red meats and lamb.
