General Information

Avaniel Rosado 2022 is made 100% from Tempranillo grapes. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 760-800 m on sandy-loam soils with pebbles. Additionally, 2022 was a vintage that delivered a high alcohol content and a high tannic concentration. This harvest resulted in wines with an intense color layer and riper fruit notes compared to previous vintages.

Bodegas Monteabellón (2000) is an initiative developed by the García family in Ribera del Duero, which began producing wine from their own vineyards in Nava de Roa, one of the most sought-after areas of the Denomination of Origin. When combined with organic viticulture, minimal intervention in the vineyard, and integration into the Ribera habitat, the results are profound, balanced wines with great complexity and harmony. The productions are extremely limited.

Avaniel Rosado 2022 (D.O. Ribera del Duero) is ideal for pairing with all types of meats and fish. It also pairs well with salads and appetizers.

Creators' opinion

The winery

Bodegas Monteabellón
In the year 2000, the fourth generation of the García family, renowned viticulturists from Ribera del Duero, decided to start producing wine from their own vineyards and created the Bodegas Monteabellón project in Nava de Roa (Burgos). Their extensive knowledge of the region's viticultural heritage, the strict limitation on vineyard yields, and cutting-edge winemaking supported by the latest vinification technologies position this as one of the most remarkable recent projects in the D.O. Ribera del Duero.

The great value of Bodegas Monteabellón lies in the 160 hectares of vineyards it controls around Nava de Roa, mainly of the tempranillo (tinta de país) variety. These vines provide the grapes for their wines, but if they do not meet the stringent requirements set by the García family, they are harvested and sold to other wineries in the region. Nevertheless, all the vineyards managed by Bodegas Monteabellón are meticulously identified by plots, with quality differentiated based on the age of the vines and the altitude of the parcels.

Thus, the young or less-aged wines are sourced from parcels located closer to the Duero River. The second working zone consists of parcels farther from the Castilian river and at higher altitudes, with sandy-loam soils containing limestone and clay. Finally, the vineyards situated at the highest altitudes, on stony soils with a high limestone content, offer extreme conditions that yield clusters perfect for superior aging.
