Recensioni degli esperti
This vintage, 50% stems included. Sumptuously aromatic of plump cherries, leading into equally succulent fruits on the palate. Fresh acidity arrives lightly, and then grows leading to a long taut finish, with the slightest echo of oak. Very young now, it will give much pleasure as it matures. (Sarah Jane Evans MW)
I had not yet tasted the 2021 La Montesa, and I'm glad I did. Álvaro Palacios was super proud of this vintage, and he told me that "many people consider it at the level of a very good Burgundy village at a fraction of the price!" It is indeed a great value, even more so in an exceptional year like 2021. But it was unmistakably Garnacha, with notes of garrigue and aromatic herbs, red cherries and flowers. It fermented with 20% full clusters in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrel for 12 months. It's clean and precise, with a lace texture, very fine tannins, flavors of red berries and herbs and a long, tasty, chalky finish. It has to be one of the finest vintages of Montesa to date. It has 14.3% alcohol, a pH of 3.5 and 5.3 grams of acidity. It's not a small cuvée; they produced 592,372 bottles! It was bottled in March 2023.
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. Drink or hold.
The quality and value for money offered by this blend of Garnacha with 5% of a further quintet of varieties always impress, especially given the volumes involved. Perfumed, enticing and refreshing, with top notes of lavender, hot earth and rosemary, sweet raspberry and red cherry fruit, fine tannins and a touch of wood. 2024-29

Apuesta segura. Vino con el cuerpo justo pero con un retrogusto colosal
Desde hace algunas añadas no llega a su explendor de antaño
Ideal para acompañar los callos a la madrileña
Sabroso. Fruta negra predominando sobre la roja. Notas marcadas de chocolate negro. Complejo. Acidez algo marcada denota decaimiento.
