Producer Summary:Bodegas Montecillo was established in 1870, making it the third winery to be established in Rioja and the first in Fuenmayor. Fuenmayor is one of the towns with the longest history and tradition in Rioja Alta. Named after the unique landscape, Montecillo (a small hill or hillock), provides the perfect climatic and geological conditions to produce wines of elegance, complexity and balance.
Short Tasting Note:Clean and bright. A very expressive nose, where notes of patisserie, vanilla and sweet quince stand out. Very broad, with an unctuous, glycerine texture. Very subtle tannins and tremendously well-balanced acidity. It has a long, persistent finish.
Long Tasting Note:Selected parcels from the area of Sotés in Rioja Alta are hand-harvested and each parcel is vinified separately. Fermentation is carried out in egg-shaped tanks at low temperature, after which the wine remains on the lees for two months. The wine then spends 18 months ageing in semi-new extra-fine grained French oak barrels of medium toast followed by at least 20 months maturing in bottle prior to release. Bright lemon yellow with a golden rim. Clean and bright. A very expressive nose, where notes of patisserie, vanilla and sweet quince stand out. Very broad, with an unctuous, glycerine texture. Very subtle tannins and tremendously well-balanced acidity. It has a long, persistent finish.
