Enology

Monge-Ruiz is an artisanal Rioja crafted from old vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified in small tanks to preserve freshness and varietal purity. Aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels, the wine reflects both tradition and modern precision, balancing ripe fruit with subtle oak complexity.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep ruby red with garnet reflections

• Nose: Expressive aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, and subtle spice

• Palate: Full-bodied yet elegant, with juicy dark fruit flavors, fine-grained tannins, and a long, structured finish

Food Pairing

Perfect alongside roasted lamb, Iberian pork, cured meats, and aged Manchego cheese. It also pairs beautifully with hearty stews and grilled vegetables.
