]]> Monteabellón 14 Meses En Barrica Tempranillo Ribera del Duero DO https://vinumlector.com/our-wine/spain/ribera-del-duero/monteabellon-14-meses-en-barrica-tempranillo-ribera-del-duero-do/ Tue, 26 Aug 2025 08:30:40 +0000 https://vinumlector.com/?post_type=product&p=8830 For several generations, the García family has been fully dedicated to viticulture. In 2000, leveraging decades of experience and winemaking know-how, they founded Bodegas Monteabellón, a family winery located in the small town of Nava de Roa. Nava de Roa still preserves a multitude of wine presses and wineries where its people once produced and stored wine. As in the rest of the  Ribera del Duero region, its history and traditions are closely linked to wine. A dry, cold winter and a dry, dry spring with a water deficit were followed by a very dry, hot summer with temperatures exceeding 42°C for more than 10 consecutive days. All of this has resulted in a high alcohol content and high tannin concentration for the vintage 2022. The result is a characteristically rich layer of color in the wines, with fewer fresh fruit notes than in previous vintages, but more ripe fruit notes this time. These characteristics are appreciated both on the palate and nose. A very good harvest is expected given the high concentration of the wines. This also includes an excellent skin-to-pulp ratio that is more balanced than in previous years. For more info, visit Monteabellón website.
