Bodegas Montecillo Gran Reserva, Rioja, Spain

Bodegas Montecillo was established in the Rioja Alta region in 1874 and is the epitome of tradition - from housing an onsite cooperage, to using traditional Bordeaux methods to make their wines, to heavily relying on Spain’s traditional red grape, Tempranillo, to make expressive wines at good price points that are versatile and food friendly.

The Bodega has been owned and operated by the Osborne family since 1973 and Maria Martinez-Sierra is their larger than life winemaker that oversees all of the Bodegas Montecillo wine endeavors. She is one of the true industry pioneers and has enjoyed over 30 years of winemaking experience and is well-respected as one of Europe’s top winemakers and a prominent ambassador for Spanish wines.

Gran Reserva wines are selected from exceptional vintages which have spent at least 2 years in oak casks and 3 years in the bottle. Over 90% of the Montecillo wines are reds made from 100% Tempranillo grapes and the Bodegas Montecillo Gran Reserva is no exception. Grapes come from the oldest vineyards in the area and are aged for a minimum of 3 years with at least 18 months in French oak. The wine then remains in the bottle for an additional 36 months prior to release. The result is a wine with a deep ruby red color and aromas of red fruit and tobacco. On the palate the wine is well balanced with flavors of cherry, tobacco, leather, licorice and spice accompanied by well-integrated tannins and a lengthy finish.
