Vino de Montana Sierra de Gata y Gredos is a captivating mountain wine that captures the essence of high-altitude vineyards in the heart of the Iberian Peninsula. Crafted predominantly from old-vine Garnacha, with the delicate influence of Pinuela and Ruefete, this expressive red emanates from ancient bush vines rooted in decomposed granite soils. The vineyards, located between 700 and 1,100 metres above sea level in the rugged Sierra de Gata, benefit from dramatic day-night temperature swings that enhance fruit concentration while preserving vibrant acidity. Made with respect for tradition and the land, Vino de Montana is committed to rejuvenating centuries-old vineyards and supporting the rural communities that nurture them, resulting in a wine that is perfumed, elegant, and refreshingly pure.
