Description:
Bodegas y Viñedos Monteabellón is a family winery in the small town of Nava de Roa, in the heart of Ribera del Duero. The García family has devoted itself to growing vines here for several generations, and today makes fresh, fruit-led Tempranillo from its own vineyards.

14 Meses is aged for 14 months in French and American oak barrels, giving a more structured, complex style of Ribera del Duero.

Tasting Notes:
Bright ruby red. Ripe red and black fruit on the nose, cherries and blackberries, with subtle vanilla and cocoa from the oak. Full and structured on the palate, with soft, well-integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Food Pairing:
Roast lamb, grilled steak, game and mature cheeses.
