Finca 'La Montesa' Crianza 2021
Named after a hillside vineyard located on the northeastern slope of the Yerga mountain in eastern Rioja, La Montesa is a blend of the indigenous grape varieties that grow on the Palacios Remondo estate; 95% Garnacha and 5% other traditional varieties.
Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, this purple-red wine presents reductive aromas of tangerine and sour cherry and a Cointreau-like perfume against a contrasting fine cedar layer. It is dry, lean and vibrant on the palate, offering a joyful and cleansing mouthfeel that lingers on a cheerful finish. This is a Garnacha with flavour and flow. Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous.
94 Points - James Suckling
Beautiful berry-fruit purity with dark raspberries, pomegranate, some moss and subtle mineral and spices. Expressive and crunchy on the firm, medium-bodied palate with succulent berries and minerals. Pure and pithy finish.
