The 95-point Monte Real Gran Reserva Rioja 2018 offers a beautifully balanced expression of Tempranillo with layered dark cherry and ripe plum flavors, complemented by hints of leather, cedar, and subtle baking spices. Its finely integrated tannins provide a smooth yet structured mouthfeel, supported by lively acidity and a touch of earthy minerality. The wine’s long, refined finish reveals mature oak nuances and a gentle smokiness, reminiscent of classic Gran Reserva styles like La Rioja Alta’s 904. This Gran Reserva showcases the elegance and aging potential typical of top Rioja wines.
Serve it alongside roasted lamb or aged Manchego cheese to highlight its savory complexity.
