Red Wine Monasterio de las Viñas Reserva 2020
Availability: In stock
Made in DO Cariñena - a geographical area not to be confused with the Cariñena (Carignan) variety - the wine Monasterio de las Viñas Reserva is a blend of Grenache, Tempranillo and Carignan.
This Spanish red wine was produced by bodega Grandes Vinos y Viñedos from low-yielding, 35 to 45-year-old vineyards located in the town of San José de Aguarón.
The harvest was carried out manually. Once in the winery, the grapes were cold-soaked to extract its full aromatic potential. Subsequently, each grape was fermented separately at a controlled temperature in stainless steel vats. Then 70% of this Reserva red wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, while the rest was aged in American oak.
Finally, the wine Monasterio de las Viñas Reserva 2020 was blended, bottled and aged for another 24 months before its release.
Pair this red wine from DO Cariñena with hearty meat recipes.
