Hacienda Monasterio : Cosecha 2019

A delicate, fresh and fruity red wine from Ribera del Duero

The estate

In 1990, the visionary oenologist Peter Sisseck moved to Hacienda Monasterio, in the region of Castilla y León. The estate had been owned since the end of the 19th century by the Lecanda family, pioneers in the modernisation of Ribera del Duero wine making.

Peter Sisseck is responsible for the innovative management of the vineyards and the construction of new winemaking facilities. The wines of Hacienda Monasterio are known for their authentic and pure character and their great aromatic richness.

The vineyard

Hacienda Monasterio reigns over 160 hectares of land, 78 of which are planted with vines, located between Pesquera and Valbuena de Duero. The vineyard is managed organically and is divided into parcels. The soil is mainly composed of limestone, which gives the wines their subtle and elegant expression.

Vinification and ageing

The blend

Hacienda Monasterio's 2019 Cosecha comprises a blend of Tinto Fino (tinta del país - 85%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), Merlot (3%) and Malbec (2%).
