Finca La Montesa D.O. Ca. Rioja
Finca La Montesa is an elegant and balanced wine produced in the generous Rioja Oriental region.
Its particularly transparent ruby red colour introduces us to a delicate interpretation of the Grenache variety. Aromas of strawberries, peppers, scrub and redcurrants abound. It displays a surprising freshness and intense chalky minerality. Spongy and fluid but with a strong personality. Rounded and well-polished tannins provide a structure perfect for its intense notes of red fruits to be appreciated better. An almost French-like style with a noticeable purity and velvety feel, Finca La Montesa has developed into a delicate wine leaving aside its juicy and exuberant character.

Interesting notes |
La Montesa is named after the hillside vineyard located on the northeastern slope of the Yerga mountains. The site is at high altitude for Rioja, giving the wine its unusual freshness. The Palacios Remondo winery history stretches back five generations when the D.O.C. Rioja was first gaining notoriety as one of the premier winemaking regions of the world. Alvaro Palacios was voted Decanter Magazine’s Man of the Year (M 2015). |
