Monte Ducay Gran Reserva DO 2016 - Bodegas San Valero
Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
The striking paper-wrapped Monte Ducay Gran Reserva Pergamino from Bodegas San Valero appears in a brick red colour in the glass. This red wine is made from Tempranillo (60%), Garnacha Tinta (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%).
The bouquet combines fruity aromas of dark berries (blackberries, blackcurrants, blueberries) with spicy hints of sweet pepper tobacco, vanilla and cinnamon. On the enormously elegant, velvety-smooth and full palate, the fruity, spicy aroma continues. Despite its long ageing in barrels, this red wine has a beautiful succinct acidity structure.
The name Monte Ducay is derived from the vineyard in the immediate vicinity of the winery. The word pargamino is derived from the term parchment and is intended to draw attention to the paper that wraps the bottle.
Vinification of Monte Ducay Gran Reserva Pergamino Tinto
The grapes harvested by hand at Bodegas San Valero are first destemmed, mashed and the resulting mash fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, this wine matures for 18 months in American oak barrels before it is finally bottled for another 24 months.
