Bodegas Hacienda Monasterio,
Ready, but will improve,
A wonderfully inviting wine, the nose displays concentrated red fruit aromas, gentle spice and wafts of cherry blossom. The palate is intense and pure, delivering a silky texture, while the tannins are ripe and finely threaded into the body of the wine. Crunchy redcurrants and damson fruit sit at its core, with a smattering of sweet spices. With a lovely balance and a rather moreish quality, it will benefit from a few years in the cellar and reward those who can wait. Drink 2020-2026+.

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.
