Monte Real Gran Reserva Rioja 2018 750ml

Blackberry, plum, and licorice with cedar, vanilla, and a long, savory finish.

Produced by Bodegas Riojanas from 100% Tempranillo grown in mature vineyards around Cenicero in Rioja Alta, this classic Gran Reserva spends 36 months in French and American oak followed by at least 24 months in bottle. Dark berries and macerated plum are layered with black pepper, clove, vanilla, dark chocolate, and balsamic notes. Firm yet refined, with lively acidity and polished tannins, it finishes long, elegant, and distinctly Rioja.
