Montesanco MÓN Tempranillo 2023 (750ml)

This is our new vintage of Tempranillo grafted on old Bobal vines in our Montesanco winery in Requena, formerly called Casa La Viña, built by the grandfather of the famous Spanish film director García Berlanga.

The old concrete tanks where the wines fermented have been recovered and are an important part of the new winery.
