Product Description
Details

A wine by Álvaro Palacios, one of Spain's most prestigious winemaker, Palacios Remondo La Montesa Magnum comes from La Rioja.

Made principally from Grenache, this Spanish red wine is complemented with some Tempranillo. The grapes were sourced from over 25-year-old vineyards located in the town of Alfaro. Located at an altitude of 550 metres above sea level, the vines are planted on limestone and ferrous-clay soils covered with pebble stones.

Hand-harvested, destemmed and gently crushed, first the grapes were cold macerated, and then they were fermented in stainless steel tanks with periodic punch-downs and pump-overs for 23 days. Malolactic fermentation of this red wine from La Rioja took place in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year 85% French and 15% American oak barrels.

After that, Palacios Remondo La Montesa 2019 Magnum was aged for 12 months in the barrels. Finally, it was gently clarified before bottling.

Aerate this Crianza red wine from the Palacios Remondo winery 30 minutes before drinking.

Appearance

The red wine Palacios Remondo La Montesa Mágnum is deep ruby with a garnet rim.

Nose

This nose of this blend of Grenache and Tempranillo is intense and evocative. Understated aromas of red berries, pomegranates and quince, along with notes of roses, carnations and sage. Some touches of wet earth and underbrush, seasoned with spices and toast.

Palate

This magnum red wine from Bodega Palacios Remondo is savoury and velvety, with excellent definition and balance. Cherries, grapefruit rind, spices and rosemary. Perfect acidity, ripe tannins and a persistent, elegant finish.

Our personal opinion

The smooth Palacios Remondo La Montesa 2019 Magnum is a source of sheer drinking pleasure that, if that were not enough, should improve in the bottle for some years.
