MÓN Tempranillo

This is our first vintage of Tempranillo in our Montesanco winery, formerly called Casa La Viña, built by the grandfather of the famous Spanish film director García Berlanga. The old concrete tanks where the wines fermented have been recovered and are an important part of the new winery.

Rainier and cooler than usual, with a slightly delayed vegetative cycle as a result of the winter and spring rains. Bud break was homogeneous, with very good development and no spring frosts. Dry harvest with high quality grapes.

100% Tempranillo from 60-year-old goblet-trained, non-irrigated vineyards in Finca Casa de la Viña (Requena). Organic and biodynamic viticulture. Altitude 731 meters. Soil mix: Clay. Yield: 2.5 Kg/strain. Night harvest by hand. Selection of the healthiest grapes.

The wine is partially fermented in French oak barrels and then transferred to new French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in the same barrels for 12 months using the regular “bâtonnage” technique.
