Bodegas Hacienda Monasterio 2020 is an exceptional wine from Ribera del Duero that reflects both the terroir and the deep expertise behind its creation, carrying a distinct connection to Pingus, one of Spain’s most revered wines. The Hacienda Monasterio estate was co-founded by the celebrated winemaker Peter Sisseck, also the visionary behind Pingus. This connection infuses Monasterio’s wines with a unique approach, drawing on the same philosophy of meticulous vineyard management, minimal intervention, and a commitment to reflecting the soul of the Ribera del Duero.
The 2020 vintage of Hacienda Monasterio captures a masterful balance between concentration and elegance. Composed primarily of Tempranillo, with hints of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec, it is a complex wine, showcasing the depth and richness of these noble varietals. On the nose, it opens with an intense bouquet of dark fruits—blackberry, ripe plum, and blueberry—accentuated by delicate notes of licorice, cedar, and a mineral touch that hints at the limestone-rich soils of the estate.
The influence of Sisseck’s winemaking style is evident in the wine’s balance and finesse. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and structured yet graceful, with velvety tannins that give way to layers of flavors. Juicy black and red fruit harmonize with earthy undertones, cocoa, and a subtle smokiness from careful oak aging. Fresh acidity lifts the rich flavors, leading to a long, persistent finish with hints of spice and a touch of graphite.
Aging potential is one of this wine's highlights, making it an ideal choice for collectors or enthusiasts looking to experience the evolution of a premium Ribera del Duero. Perfect alongside robust dishes such as roasted lamb, grilled meats, or a selection of aged Spanish cheeses, Hacienda Monasterio 2020 offers a luxurious, multidimensional tasting experience that reflects its heritage and the skillful hand of its makers.
