Hacienda Monasterio Reserva Especial 2020 is a prominent red wine from the D.O. Ribera del Duero, made by Bodegas Hacienda Monasterio. Located between Pesquera de Duero and Valbuena de Duero, Valladolid, the winery was founded by Carlos Falco in 1990 and has been under the technical direction of renowned winemaker Peter Sisseck since then. This wine is made from a careful selection of Tempranillo grapes, locally known as Tinto Fino, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2020 vintage stands out for maintaining the unique style of the house, with the inclusion of Cabernet providing notable structure and complexity to the wine. After a fermentation process that includes long macerations, Hacienda Monasterio Reserva Especial 2020 ages for approximately 19 months in French oak barrels, ensuring its quality before being released to the market. In terms of sensory profile, the wine offers intense aromas of ripe black fruit and plum, followed by spicy notes and hints of cocoa, tobacco, and fine toast from its aging. On the palate, it is powerful and balanced, with fine tannins, good acidity, and a long, elegant finish.
