Bodegas Montecillo Rioja Reserva 2015 750 ml

Montecillo Reserva is an extraordinarily well-crafted and authentic Rioja wine that combines sublime intensity and aromatic finesse with an opulent body. On the nose, this Reserva shows great balance, with very ripe fruit appearing at first, followed by hints of freshness and noble oak. Sweet, aniseed-like notes appear in the background, leaving an intense and long-lasting flavour that is elegant, lively, and very pleasant on the palate. Balanced acidity and well-polished tannins give a very smooth mouthfeel, with high-quality oak on the finish.

Bodegas Montecillo wines are crafted to enjoy a long bottle life as they continue bottle ageing longer than those from other wineries in the region. Montecillo is also renowned for its female winemaker, oenologist Mercedes Garcia. Her love and passion for wine is evident in the care and quality that goes into making her wines.

This wine is the perfect accompaniment to meat dishes, charcuterie, mature cheeses and slow-cooked stews.
