Viña Monty Garnacha Reserva 2015 is the result of a meticulous study of the terroir, with a thorough selection of grapes from two distinct plots, and the exceptional winemaking work of Mercedes García. Bodegas Montecillo produces a single-varietal Garnacha that is luscious and very elegant, where fruit takes precedence over wood, with a long, flavorful, and concentrated finish.

Grupo Osborne

Bodegas Montecillo was founded in 1870 by Celestino Navajas Matute, being the oldest winery in the municipality of Fuenmayor and the third oldest winery of the D.O.Ca. Rioja. Since 1973, Montecillo has belonged to the Osborne Family, and today it has become one of the benchmarks for long-aged wines. It produces the Clásica range (Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva, a white and a rosé), signature wines, and the Viña Monty range, which represents the most avant-garde winemaking trend of the centenary winery, committed to traditional production with a renewed approach.

Bodegas Montecillo has underground cellars that house vintages dating back to 1926, as well as an impressive manual bottle rack.
