In recent years, the 100 hectares of La Montesa have reached important milestones.
The recovery of the Garnacha grape, with all its historical affinity with the highlands of Yerga. Then the full implementation of organic viticulture, crucial on the path to integrity and purity.
Garnacha only reaches its best expression when its production is economical and limited. In order to obtain its most exciting virtues, yields must be limited. No more than 4 kg per hectare. Never beyond that boundary, a boundary that inspires us to make important decisions inspires us to make important decisions.
The 2019 vintage of La Montesa is presented to the markets with fewer bottles and more expression. With a limited amount of products, but with a clearer and more powerful approach. It is the logical step of an upward journey, in which yields will decrease in order to preserve the very essence of the essence of Yerga Garnacha. Less to give more.
