For anyone who loves Ribera del Duero, Hacienda Monasterio is one of those names that makes people’s eyes light up. Peter Sisseck, the Dane behind the legendary Pingus, helped shape this estate from the very beginning, and you can taste that same care and finesse here at a fraction of the price of his cult wines. It’s the bottle I recommend when someone wants a real treat without going completely over the top.
The estate sits in Pesquera de Duero, in the famous ‘golden mile’ of Ribera, and the vineyards are farmed organically. The wine is mostly Tinto Fino, as Tempranillo is called here, with small touches of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot adding structure and perfume. It’s aged for well over a year in French oak, a mix of new and older barrels, so the wood frames the fruit rather than dominating it.
In the glass it’s a bright, deep ruby. The nose brings ripe red and black cherries, liquorice, a fresh eucalyptus and mineral note and a little cocoa and spice. On the palate it’s full-bodied but silky, with fine, firm tannins, lovely balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish. It’s delicious with a decant now and will reward a few years in the cellar.
Serve it with roast lamb, slow-cooked beef cheeks, a mushroom and truffle risotto or a mature Manchego.
