Look no further; this red wine is exactly what you're looking for! The Gras Merlot Reserva has been a staple in our range for years, and we're very proud of it. The pure wines of Viña Montgras are a global success. Thanks to modern techniques and minimal spraying, the Gras brothers manage to offer consistent quality in their wines year after year. This has certainly not gone unnoticed by the international wine press. The De Gras Reserva series has already received numerous prestigious awards. A few years ago, this series was better known as Montgras Reserva, but recently it received a completely new look and name. Of course, it still maintains the quality we've come to expect from them.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The old Merlot vineyard of De Gras\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Merlot grapes for this Reserva wine, which indicates that this red wine is oak-aged, come from the Colchagua Valley. Many grape varieties thrive in this valley. It's therefore not surprising that many wineries have established themselves here over the years. With the warm climate during the day and the cool wind from the Andes at night, the grapes have all the time and tranquility to reach perfect ripeness. Once this perfect ripeness is achieved, the winemaker approves the manual selection and harvest of the grapes. During this harvest, the grapes are placed in small crates, where they are gently laid out before being transported to the press. This minimizes bruising on the grapes during transport. Once the wine is ready, it is then transferred to new French and American oak barrels for aging. This aging process lasts approximately eight months, after which the wine is bottle-aged for another two months.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of De Gras Merlot Reserva\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe final product is certainly impressive! We're in love with this red wine. The color alone is a feast for the eyes. Deep ruby ​​red with a slight purple sheen. The aroma is intense, with rich aromas of ripe red and black fruit balanced by hints of coffee, cedar, and vanilla. The taste is like a warm duvet. The feeling of being nestled in the warm down is unmatched by this red wine.

The winery itself dates back to 1858 and is considered the oldest bodega in Rioja, but for this wine, it deliberately chooses an origin outside the classic denominations to allow for maximum freedom in style.

This creates the perfect conditions for this red wine. This red Confidencia is made from the well-known Tempranillo grape. One of the most famous Spanish red wine grapes, it has been used to create many great wines. When the grapes are perfectly ripe, they are harvested mechanically in the early morning. This early harvest is important for the quality of the grapes. At this time of day, the skins haven't yet had to withstand much heat, making them stronger and less susceptible to bruising. Another reason is that the daytime heat could already cause the grapes to oxidize, which is obviously undesirable. Once the grapes arrive at the press, they are sorted on long sorting tables. Only the best bunches are selected for pressing.

The climate in which the vineyards are located is perfect, with warm summers that allow the grapes to ripen, and the fresh mountain breezes contribute to the wine's development. Without the wind, the grapes would ripen too quickly and not retain their natural acidity, which is crucial for a top-quality wine. The subsoil, where the roots are deeply established, also contributes to the strength of this red Belleruche. The soil consists primarily of limestone and clay, which ensures good drainage.
