Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The Hacienda Monasterio displays bright ruby red color with a nose of mineral aromas and lots of red fruit, with touches of black licorice and balsamic aromas of eucalyptus. Very aromatic and in perfect harmony with the subtle aromas produced by the aging madera. On the palate is soft and silky nose giving way to a balanced structure marked by a highly integrated acidity whose presence brings freshness and persistence, with an aftertaste of fruit red and mineral. Very thin, long and elegant mouth. The balance, finesse, freshness are the great features of this wine with great aging potential.

Professional Ratings

91 Wine Spectator
Smoky and gamy notes frame a core of plum and cassis in this dense, focused red. Chewy tannins and firm acidity build a firm structure, showing plenty of stuffing. Delivers a sanguine character that wants food to bloom. Best from 2015 through 2025.
91 James Suckling
A balanced and firm red with very polished tannins and compressed, fine tannins. Medium to full body and a fresh finish.

Hacienda Monasterio

View all products

Hacienda Monasterio is owned by Carlos del Rio whose family has been in the sherry business for decades. Being fortunate enough to own some prime, south-facing parcels on the right side of the river, Carlos hired Peter Sisseck, the owner/winemaker of the famed Ribera estate Pingus to take over the winemaking in 1995. Peter has helped to turn this old estate into a Ribera powerhouse with wines that can age for years.

Tempranillo Wine

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 Wine

Spain

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.
