Monte Real Crianza Cuvee Rioja Magnum 2021

Monte Real Cuvée is the result of long work to sort out the best plots of “El Monte” vineyard to ensure wine lovers perceive their character and essence in every bottle of wine. 67% Tempranillo and 33% Graciano.
The best four vineyards were selected, covering a total of four hectares of land. Three hectares are planted with Tempranillo and one is Graciano of a low-yielding clone that produces very small berries. These plots are planted at 450 meters above the sea level and are over 40 years of age, with a very low yield of approximately 4,000 kg per hectare. They are mostly terroirs known for naturally limiting production, with clay and limestone soils with boulders. For the harvest 15-kilo boxes were used, picking the berries very early in the morning so as to avoid high temperatures and reducing the time the grapes arrive at the cellar. There, the bunches are carefully chosen on a selection table to pick out the best bunches and berries.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 10,000 litre, cone-shaped stainless-steel tanks, using the LEV 2050 method to select natural yeasts in the same plots at “El Monte” vineyard, in order to enhance the seal imprinted by terroir in the final wine. There then followed a period of 25 days maceration with the skins for the extraction of aromas and colour. Malolactic fermentation took place in 60 new French and American oak barrels. The same 60 barrels were used for the ageing of the wine. 50% of the casks were Appalachian American oak, the rest were French Allier barrels of a very fine grain and four years drying of the wood so as to reduce green tannins to the minimum. The toasting level was medium plus. Ageing: 18 months
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby red colour, clean and brilliant. Intense nose of berry fruit aromas, especially blackberries and blueberries, very well integrated with the spicy character of the liquorice, all these notes perfectly intertwined with the aromas from the barrel ageing, chocolate, toffee and fine toast
