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:Silky and enveloping, with juicy tannins and a long, succulent and concentrated finish. Sweet, appetising aromas of ripe red fruits such as plums, intertwined with notes of toasted oak.
Long Tasting Note:The majority of the blend comes from the Arenzana area in Rioja Alta, where the vines are more than 80 years old and grow on a slope at 542 metres altitude on sandy soils with a large quantity of pebbles. The second parcel is in the Alcanadre area (Rioja Oriental) at 350 metres altitude, on clay-based soils with greater sun exposure. Hand-harvested parcels are vinified separately. Fermentation takes place in truncated-cone tanks after which maceration with the skins takes place for over 15 days. The wine is matured for 26 months in new mixed and French oak barrels, with medium toasted staves and untoasted heads and then aged for a further 20 months in the bottle. A vivid red colour of medium intensity. Silky and enveloping, with juicy tannins and a long, succulent and concentrated finish. Sweet, appetising aromas of ripe red fruits such as plums, intertwined with notes of toasted oak.
