    Winemaker Notes

    Packed with varied and complex mineral/fruit elements expressed in a decidedly sauvage style, its extract literally clinging to the sides of the glass. Balance and complexity prevail in a generally sensational taste experience.

    Montecastro Winery Image
    Bodegas Monteastro's 27 acres were purchased in 2001. Its first plantings were in the 2002 and 2003 seasons. The vineyard is located in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain.

    To obtain lasting vineyards, we are convinced of the need to be respectful of the environment that we are giving away such a good grape. For this reason, since it was initially worked pesticide treatments using only natural and without herbicides. This requirement also applies to suppliers of grapes that complement our production. In order to certify these techniques of cultivation, our vineyards are in conversion to organic farming.

    The winery building was designed by architect Roberto Valle in harmony with the environment of the cave as it did in the Castillo de Penafiel for the Wine Museum. Roberto is the architect who designed the construction of the Wine Museum and the Museum of Penafiel, home of the Roman Almenara. The design combines the white stone of the moor, characteristic of the area, cut with steel and glass on the outside with tinted concrete and wood in the interior.

    Notoriously food-friendly, long-lasting and Spain’s most widely planted grape, Tempranillo is the star variety of red wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero. The Rioja terms Joven, Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva indicate both barrel and bottle time before release. Traditionally blended in Rioja with Garnacha, plus a bit of Mazuelo (Carignan) and Graciano, the Tempranillo in Ribera del Duero typically stands alone. Somm Secret—Tempranillo claims many different names depending on location. In Penedès, it is called Ull de Llebre and in Valdepeñas, goes by Cencibel. Known as Tinta Roriz in Portugal, Tempranillo plays an important role in Port wine.

    Ribera del Duero, Spanish wine region, is located in northen Spain’s Castilla y León region, just a 2-hour drive from Madrid. While winemaking in this area goes back more than 2000 years, it was in the 1980s that 9 wineries applied for and were granted Denominación de Origen (D.O.) status. Today, more than 300 wineries call Ribera del Duero home, including some of Spain’s most iconic names.

    Notable Facts Ribera’s main grape variety, Tempranillo, locally know as Tinto Fino, is perfectly suited to the extreme climate of the region, where it must survive scorching summers and frigid winters. Low yields resulting from conscientious tending to old vines planted in Ribera’s diverse soils types, give Ribera wines a distinctive depth and complexity not found in other Tempranillos. Rich and full-bodied, the spice, dark fruit and smoky flavors in a bold Ribera del Duero will pair well with roasted and grilled meats, Mexican food and tomato-based sauces.
