Viña Monty Viura 2018 is a white wine from Rioja made by Bodegas Montecillo from viura and a small contribution of tempranillo blanco. With striking expressiveness, highlighted by mineral notes, this limited-edition white wine aged on lees is creamy, complex, and elegant, with well-integrated acidity and a very long finish.

Tasting notes

Bright straw yellow color, glyceric when swirled in the glass.

On the nose, it displays intense aromas of scrubland, herbs along with mineral notes, pastry aromas, and sweet woods. There are also hints of citrus, white fruits like ripe pear, or memories of quince.

Very glyceric and voluptuous on the palate. Great elegance and exquisite acidity that envelops the entire mouth, making it fresh, fruity, and very long-lasting.

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.
