Rioja at its very best—that's Montecillo. A beloved red wine in our range, and has been for years. The secret is the seemingly perfect price-to-taste ratio. Enough depth to exaggerate; that's what Montecillo wines are all about.
The Rioja wines from Spain
When you think of Spanish wines, Rioja wines are indispensable. It's the birthplace of countless beautiful wineries, all capable of producing spectacular wines. One of the most impressive and oldest wineries is Montecillo, located in the heart of the Rioja region: the Rioja Alta.
The Spanish wines of Montecillo
Montecillo is the heirloom of the Rioja region. The first vines were planted in the Rioja Alta as early as 1870. The Navajas family, the winery's founders, ran it for years based on tradition, craftsmanship, and a passion for wine. This made them a distinctive force in the densely populated Rioja landscape. Over 100 years later, in 1973, the winery was taken over by another renowned family in Spanish winemaking: the Osborne family (yes, the one with the Sherry). Currently, Rocio Osborne, the sixth generation, is in charge of Montecillo's daily operations.
The wines of Montecillo
Montecillo's wines excel in tradition. Pure craftsmanship is still evident in every bottle of Montecillo. A classic Rioja style that wine journalists, critics, and other connoisseurs swoon over. Tempranillo, of course, forms the foundation of Montecillo's wines. But the winery also produces an excellent oak-aged white wine: Montecillo Blanco Barrel Fermented Rioja. This Montecillo wine is a playful trio of Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo Blanco, and the local Viura.
