Monte Real Gran Reserva 2018
Wine Enthusiast #14 Wine of the Year (2025 Top 100 Wines)
95 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This is a total beauty courtesy of Bodegas Riojanas in the heart of Rioja. They are particularly famous for their mastery of the Gran Reserva category, which requires a minimum of five years of aging (with at least two years in oak) before release. This is always amongst Spain’s finest Red wines, but especially in the 2018 vintage with this receiving a huge score and a placement amongst the Top 20 wines of the year from Wine Enthusiast who called out “Fresh herbs, mixed berries and plums, and a pleasing dusting of cocoa and earthiness through a long finish make this a statisfying wine.”
Original price was: $55.00.$35.00Current price is: $35.00.

Enticing aromas and a silken mouthfeel deliver a Tempranillo that is full bodied, full of flavor, and refined. Fresh herbs, mixed berries and plums, and a pleasing dusting of cocoa and earthiness through a long finish make a satisfying wine.
Founded in 1890 in the town of Cenicero, Bodegas Riojanas is a cornerstone of the Rioja Alta region. Much like the Perrin family’s commitment to their ancestral land, Bodegas Riojanas has spent over 130 years perfecting the art of long-aged, traditional Rioja. They are particularly famous for their mastery of the Gran Reserva category, which requires a minimum of five years of aging (with at least two years in oak) before release.
The Monte Real Gran Reserva is the true powerhouse of the estate. It is a 100% Tempranillo known for its impeccable structure and its incredible intensity. In great years like 2018, it is truly one of the benchmark Spanish reds you can find.
