Hacienda Monasterio Reserva 2019 has established itself as one of the great references of Ribera del Duero. This wine, produced by the esteemed Hacienda Monasterio winery, is located in the famous 'golden mile' of the denomination, just between Pesquera and Valbuena de Duero. Under the winemaking direction of Peter Sisseck, known for the iconic Pingus, this wine achieves an elegant, deep, and perfectly balanced style. The production is mainly based on Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grapes with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes come from vineyards cultivated under organic practices in calcareous soils, imparting freshness and minerality to the wine. After a careful hand-selection of the grapes, a long maceration is carried out, followed by aging of nearly two years in French oak barrels. This allows for precise integration between fruit, structure, and wood. On the nose, this wine presents great aromatic intensity with notes of ripe black fruits, plum, licorice, sweet spices, cocoa, and subtle toasting. Additionally, mineral and balsamic hints further elevate its complexity. On the palate, it is broad, silky, and concentrated, with polished tannins, excellent freshness, and a long finish that evokes memories of ripe fruit and spiced notes. Hacienda Monasterio Reserva 2019 is the most refined and modern reflection of Ribera del Duero, a powerful yet elegant wine, ideal to accompany roasted meats, game dishes, and special occasions.
