Tasting - Montebuena Rioja Tempranillo Cuvee KPF 2020 Rioja, Spain




Name: Montebuena Rioja Tempranillo Cuvee KPF 2020 Rioja, Spain

Variety:  Tempranillo

Region: Rioja

Country: Spain

Year: 2020

Price: 11.99

Wine Review: Montebuena displays a brilliant deep ruby red color. Aromas of juicy fruit combine with a spicy vanilla bouquet. Smooth and fruity in the mouth, with some well-integrated secondary nuances. Full-flavored with a persistent, pleasant finish.

Wine Folly: Spain’s top variety, made famous by the wines of Rioja, where wines are classified by how long they age in oak. Fine Tempranillo ages 20+ years but costs a little more (p. 175).

My Review: This wine was delicious. This was the first Spanish wine I had and I think they are very good. I thought it had a very light body, and was acidic. I tasted cigar smoke, dark cherry and other berry flavors. Lastly, I tasted multiple spices that paired well with my food. I had Taco Rice and Cheese. (3/5)
