La Montesa Crianza red wine 2016

We are facing a renovated classic

The Palacios family presents this upbringing full of life; a Mediterranean wine where the work of the vineyard and the winery have been equally cared for. La Montesa is a Rioja of great typicity but markedly modern, that the whole family will like. A wine to enjoy without complexes.

The La Montesa vineyard extends into 90 hectares of quasi-martial training. An image of balance and purity; a classicist painting. From that idea a superb fruit arises. La Montesa, the wine that renews the pride and passion of the ALfaro vineyard and winery. Reflects all the parameters of a harmonious landscape: the clay-calcareous soil, the conglomerate sediment of the Sierra de Yerga, the luminosity, the vegetable context. And the Garnacha, Clear.

Planted by D. José Palacios in 1989, is able to express the journey of history, the traditional flavor. With its Tempranillo allies, and mazuelo raises a child made to touch the soul
