Bodegas Montecillo Viña Monty Garnacha Reserva

Category: Tags: , , Product ID: 4158

Description

Grape Varieties: 100% Garnacha

The Garnacha grapes come from two different plots. One of them is more than 80 years old and is located in a small village called Arenzana in Rioja Alta, at 542 metres altitude. This gives the blend sublime acidity, harmony and elegance.

The other one is in Rioja Oriental near the Ebro River, at 350 metres. There we find a greater level of clay in the soil and more vigorous vines with greater sun exposure. This adds powerful colour, tannins and alcohol to the resulting wine.

TASTING NOTE

Color: Bright yellow, straw color. Initially pastry aromas with vanilla surrounded by a delicious mix of citrus, quince and ripe apple.

Aroma & Palate: Lots of body, density with delicious acidity that makes a blending freshness and fruity.
