2021 Teso la Monja

This premium Spanish wine is produced by the Teso La Monja winery, an exclusive winery and one of Hermanos Eguren's finest estates. The 2021 vintage is a very limited edition of 940 numbered bottles, and of the 2020 vintage, they are releasing only 694 bottles and a mere 60 magnums. The rest will go into the Eguren family library and will be released in small batches over the next 20 years (at much higher prices). The extremely old vineyard (over 160 years old) has a very low yield, but the quality is unprecedented, and connoisseurs know what a fantastic wine this is and the impact on prices with age. The wine comes from a cool vineyard of only 1.8 hectares, with extremely old vines (150 years and older – pre-phylloxera) that produce incredibly high ripeness. The bunches are harvested, individually selected, and then destemmed and crushed entirely by hand by a team of 55 highly experienced people who do this annually. The wine ferments in open-top oak barrels, followed by malolactic fermentation in an egg-shaped oak barrel. It matures in three brand-new Bordeaux barrels for approximately 24 months. This premium wine from Teso La Monja boasts an unprecedented number of layers. With every sniff and sip, something different emerges, including spices, smoke, toast, and balsamic notes of incense and cigars. Red and black fruit and oak also reappear on the palate, with a stunning finish. This wine is sold only EN primeur and only in the best vintages. It is then available in spring, with delivery at the end of the year.

Tip: Cult wines are often tampered with these days, and this one is no exception. We are the official importer, and you can check the Teso la Monja website to see if you have an official bottle issued by an importer. This way, you can be sure you haven't accidentally purchased a counterfeit or refilled bottle. You can do this at: http://www.sierracantabria.com/en/wineries/teso-la-monja/teso-la-monja-wine/
