Bertrand Erhard, enólogo, cuenta que “buscamos la alta calidad, por lo que nunca superamos las 150.00 botellas de producción. Para ello se funciona con viñedos propios [...] Read more »

ALCONTE, UN TEMPRANILLO QUE ENCANDILA A JULIO IGLESIAS

by admin

Alconte es la segunda marca de Montecastro, bodega de la que es socio el célebre cantante internacional Julio Iglesias, que, aunque no interviene en el resultado organoléptico, contribuye a la ‘riberalización’, y eso está bien.

Montecastro y Llanahermosa 2005 “Deep ruby. Powerfully scented nose offers raspberry, cherry, bitter chocolate, anise, suave baking spices and vanilla. Deep, highly intense red and dark berry flavors are complicated by candied licorice and cured meat. Finishes lively and precise, with good acid lift and youthful but integrated tannins. Seems even livelier than the [...] Read more »

Made entirely from Tempranillo grapes, oak aged partly in French, [...] Read more »
