Bodega Teodoro Ruiz Monge Description
BLEND | 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha, & 5% Viura
VINEYARDS | Ten hectares in San Vincente de la Sonsierra (Rioja Alta) in the foothils of the Sierra de Cantabria range. Cold winters and hot summers with drastic thermal contrasts between day and night. Older vineyards (40 years at least) with poor quality soils of clay and limestone origin. Grapes tend to be small in size with very low production - high quality.
WINEMAKING | Hand harvested and vinified in the traditional method - whole bunches undergo carbonic maceration with foot treading in concrete vats.
TASTING NOTES | A clean and brilliant cherry red that is super aromatic with red fruits and hints of balsamic, nuts, and licorice on the nose. Expressive and round in the mouth with gentle tannins, the bright, refreshing fruitiness.
