Product Description
Details
A single vineyard Verdejo from DO Rueda, the wine Marqués de Riscal Finca Montico is made from vines over 40 years of age. They are planted on terraces on the banks of the Duero river. Soils are very poor, composed mainly of gravel.
Produced by Marqués de Riscal winery, the grapes were harvested in little boxes to avoid fruit bruising. Once in the cellar, they were cold-soaked and delicately pressed in order to obtain a high quality free-run juice.
Then half of this Spanish white wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks.
After that, 80% of the white wine Marqués de Riscal Finca Montico 2022 was aged on lees in the tanks for 4 months minimum, while the rest completed the process in a 6,000-litre French oak vat. Finally, the wine was blended and bottled.
The elegance of this organic white wine from Rueda is remarkable.

Montico
One of the best Verdejos out there, comparable to Belondrade but much more affordable.

Montico
Very subtle and classy. Nose is suprisingly delicate for a Verdejo. The palate is mineral, crisp and very precise. Excellent.
