2020 Teso la Monja

This top Spanish wine is produced by the Teso La Monja winery, an exclusive winery, one of the great wineries of Hermanos Eguren. The 2020 is a very limited edition of 944 numbered bottles and of the 2020 they only release 694 bottles and only 60 magnums. The rest goes into the Eguren family library and will be released in small doses over the next 20 years (at much higher prices). The extremely old vineyard (>160 years) has a very low yield, but the quality is unprecedentedly high and connoisseurs know what a fantastic wine this is and what the prices do with the years for this wine. The wine comes from a cool vineyard of only 1.8HA on which extremely old vines (150 years and older - pre-phylloxera) are located that give an incredibly high ripeness. The bunches are picked and selected per grape and completely manually destemmed and manually crushed by a team of 55 very experienced people who do this every year. The wine ferments in an open-topped oak barrel followed by malolactic fermentation in an egg-shaped oak barrel. It matures in three brand new Bordeaux barrels for approximately 24 months. This top wine from Teso La Monja has an unprecedented amount of layers. With every sniff and sip something different comes forward such as herbs, smoke, toast, balsamic notes of incense and cigars. Red and black fruit and oak also come back in the mouth with an amazing aftertaste. This wine is only sold EN primeur and only in the top years. The offer is then in spring with delivery at the end of the year.
