Made with the indigenous Tempranillo grape and a small amount of Manzuelo, the Bodegas Montecillo Reserva 2014 is an ideal full-bodied Reserva to indulge on. It flourishes with notes of fine oak and smooth velvety tannins,and the nose is rich with aromas of cherry and dark fruit (think blackberries and plums), followed by hints of licorice and vanilla.

The Bodegas Montecillo Reserva is aged for 24 months in both French and American Oak with an followed by an additional two years at the winery. Thanks to the extended aging, Winemaker Mercedes García Rupérez notes that the wine delivers a unique integrated flavor of tertiary notes of wood, coffee, and balsamic.

Whether you are sipping this Reserva wine over a romantic candle lit dinner, hosting a lively galentines get together, or even just relaxing watching your favorite movie, the Bodegas Montecillo Reserva pairs well with an array of dishes. For the dinner host, a roasted leg of lamb, wild mushroom risotto, lamb tagine, or ratatouille harmonize deliciously with the wine’s stewed fruitiness. For the party host or movie watcher, a creative charcuterie board filled with mature cheeses and various cold cuts allows the wine to stand up to the unique flavors that the board will offer.
Cheers!
