Monopole Clásico
The grapes for this wine come from our own vineyards in Villalba de Rioja, just over five hectares planted 15 years ago, facing east and on limestone soils. The vines are trellised for their protection against the wind to which this vineyard is exposed.
The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats and once completed, the wine is racked, along with its fine lees, to used barrels and “botas” to complete its ageing. The wine remains in these used barrels and “botas” of different capacities for around 8 months including a period of biological ageing under a layer of “flor” yeast. This method of ageing contributes the peculiar organoleptic characteristics of Monopole Clásico, enriching the wine with aromas of chamomile and nuttiness, at the same time as augmenting the sensation of freshness from acidity and conferring a long finish.
All of this enables us to produce a wine which demonstrates the attributes of the variety as well as the peculiarity of a wine from times gone by.
