The Story

We can guarantee this by taking the utmost care and being scrupulously selective when harvesting by hand. We produce Monteverro in minimal amounts from grapes from the best plots of the steep hillside slopes that run right...

Wine Information

A very exceptional event occurred in November 2012, with more than 400 mm of rain in 48 hours. This kind of event cannot refill the water reserve because most of it has no time to penetrate the soil, but it explains how tough the climate can be in the Mediterranean area with long periods of dryness and terrific storms.

Written Notes

A world-class, perfumed nose of charcoal, espresso roast, white chocolate, black currants, sweet plums, Asian soy and a Grave-like scorched earth aroma soars from the glass of this dense purple-colored wine. Full-bodied and seamlessly constructed with a multidimensional mouthfeel as well as a phenomenal finish, this 2013 carries considerable soft tannin, but at present it is concealed by the wine’s luxurious levels of fruit, glycerin and intensity. Exellent job well done!

  • 95p

Intense ruby red colour with violet hue. Closed character, restrained fruit, elegant spiciness and hints of minerality. On the palate well balanced with medium bodied character but good length. 

  • 93p

Deep dark, opaque ruby with touches of purple, the wine reveals an lovely integrated nose of fruit like blackcurrant, black cherry, blueberries, macerated strawberries lingering on ginger bread. On the palate, the wine shows a balanced entrance with touches of dark ripe fruit like cassis lingering on a granular tannic structure with touches of cherry chocolate. The terroir expression at its best, it is a exceptional wine from the greastest vintage so far.
