HARVEST AT BODEGAS MONTECILLO
BODEGAS MONTECILLO - LA RIOJA
Discover our winery at the busiest and most exciting time of the year: harvest, which usually takes place between September and November. This is an essential experience for a wine lover, and will allow you to discover how we make our wines, following the winemaking process in great detail, guided by an expert.
The activity includes:
-A guided tour of the winery, learning about the history of Bodegas Montecillo in the hands of an expert guide. The aim is for you to discover more about our wines at different stages of their evolution, as you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy tasting the wines at various stages of the winemaking process: after alcoholic fermentation, at the start of malolactic fermentation, after ageing in barrels made from different types of oak and, of course, as finished wines.
-History brought to life through an audio-visual experience, followed by a visit to the museum.
-Barrel tasting directly from American and French oak casks (in the underground barrel cellar.)
-Tasting of Montecillo Crianza, Montecillo Reserva and Montecillo Rosé with light snacks (in the wine bar.)
