Winemaking

Monge-Ruiz is an artisanal Rioja made from old vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The grapes are hand-picked and vinified in small tanks to preserve freshness and varietal purity. Aged in a blend of French and American oak, the wine reflects both tradition and modern precision, balancing ripe fruit with subtle barrel complexity.

Tasting notes

Sight: deep ruby red with garnet reflections.

Nose: expressive aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries and plums, layered with cedar, tobacco, vanilla and subtle spice.

Palate: powerful yet elegant, with juicy black fruit, fine-grained tannins and a long, structured finish.

Food pairing

Perfect with roast lamb, Iberian pork, cured meats and aged Manchego. Also pairs beautifully with hearty stews and grilled vegetables.
