Bodegas Hacienda Monasterio,
Drink now,
A blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot and aged in oak for 17 months, the nose of this wine is simultaneously mineral and fruit-laden. Notes of raspberry, black pepper, balsamic and eucalypt are all present and whilst currently restrained, there is a balance and harmony which given time will blossom spectacularly. The palate is silky with well integrated acidity, freshness and persistence. The finish is lengthy and elegant, a wonderful expression from this increasingly sought out address.

Bodegas Hacienda Monasterio,
Ready, but will improve,
Peter Sisseck, the consultant winemaker at Hacienda Monasterio, sees 2010 in the same vein as 2012 and 2008, that is to say as an elegant , ‘Atlantic’ vintage, a perceived virtue in such a climate and one which allows the wine full aromatic expression. A blend of 80% Tinto Fino and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine has an attractive nose of violets and eucalypt and a palate which is soft and rich, courtesy, in no small measure, of the 20 month ageing in French oak.

Bodegas Hacienda Monasterio,
Ready, but will improve,
A resounding success, flourishing from a late, cool vintage. Beautifully perfumed, boasting precision and definition.
“2013 by the Bodegas’ own admittance was, to use that great wine-trade euphuism, ‘difficult’ in Ribera del Duero. The mark of a great estate however, is what they can achieve when the elements don’t play ball; that this Reserva was produced from the latest harvest in history, is testament to Peter Sisseck’s stellar site, fruit and barrel selection. Cool, pure and precise throughout this is refinement to the last. Fruit-forward yes, but it isn’t necessarily the fruit that keeps your nose so absorbed, granite, cool stone and a touch of blackcurrant leaf add layers of complexity to the 80% Tempranillo 20% Cabernet blend. Concentrated and silky, the tannins have been honed by 20 months in French oak and the finish is so harmonious and complete that you wish to repeat the entire experience instantly.”

Bodegas Hacienda Monasterio,
Ready, but will keep,
2014 is a fantastic vintage in Ribera, Hacienda Monasterio believe this could be one of their best ever Cosecha wines.
“Attractive ruby in colour, the nose really opens up with a gentle swirl of the glass bringing decadent forest fruit, redcurrants, blueberries and complemented by hints of allspice. Impressive concentration across the palate, there’s serious substance to this yet kept in check an ever balancing acidity and almost unnoticeable such is the silky texture and glossy mouthfeel. Dominated by Tempranillo, the additional 10% of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the blend bring a different dimension to this with greater depth and richness of flavour; toasted plum, mulberry and hints of milk chocolate. Simply gorgeous, very hard not to spit it out! Detailled through to the finish with a rolling freshness, you can look forward to enjoying this from 2018 – 2025.”

Hacienda Monasterio is one of the great names in Ribera del Duero. Located close to the villages of Pesquera de Valbuena del Duero on the so-called Golden Mile, the estate covers 170 hectares, its vines all north facing, with plots of Cabernet, Merlot and Malbec complementing the Tinto Fino. Peter Sisseck, who actually lives on the estate, is consultant winemaker here and it should therefore come as no huge surprise that the quality of the wines is of the highest rank. The wines (only crianza and reserva wines are produced) are matured in one-year old Bordeaux casks and are consistently amongst the region’s finest.
