    Winemaker Notes

    This deep and bright Rioja fills the mouth with ripe blackberries in a soft, round, velvety structure. Well-balanced and long on the finish, this full-bodied, powerful wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck and chicken, quail and turkey prepared in any style, roasted beef tenderloin or grilled lamb chops. Made from 100% Tempranillo grapes; aged 18 months in new French oak casks.

    Bodegas Montecillo, Spain
    Bodegas Montecillo Winemaker Mercedes García Winery Image

    Established in 1870, Bodegas Montecillo is one of the oldest wineries in the D.O. Rioja. The name, Montecillo—or little mountain—speaks to the irregular topography of the Rioja vineyards. Surrounded by vines and close to the waters of the majestic Ebro river, the city of Fuenmayor is set amongst flat topped hills, and in the distance, the distinctive rocky mass of the Cantabrian Mountains.

    Montecillo’s ancient underground ‘bodega’ houses hand stacked bottles that remain undisturbed until reaching optimal roundness, including vintages that date back to 1926, the year that the Rioja Designation of Origin was created. The wines are crafted to enjoy a long bottle life; they continue bottle ageing longer than those from other wineries in the region.

    Montecillo is also renowned for its female winemakers; led by oenologist Mercedes Garcia.
