Varietal: Tempranillo | Location: Spain - La Rioja - Rioja
WA 90
In a departure from traditional oak dominated Riojas, the bright ruby-purple Montebuena gives center stage to the spicy, crunchy varietal character of 100% Tempranillo grapes, which are hand-harvested from its vineyards in Alfaro, La Rioja. The bouquet serves up lovely notes of cherry-vanilla and rose petals, followed on the palate by lush, mouth-filling red and black fruit, with hints of red currant and damp earth. A polishing sheen of vanilla oak imparts a distinct touch of class to the finish.
