Bodegas Vinicola Real 200 Monges Gran Reserva Blanco 2009

Bodegas Vinicola Real 200 Monges Gran Reserva Blanco 2009 is a rare and prestigious aged white Rioja, marking the first white Gran Reserva released by the estate. Crafted from 100% Viura grapes sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Alto Najerilla, the wine is produced as a "white with a red soul," featuring a robust structure designed for exceptional aging. After years of maturation in 225-litre oak barrels and the bottle, it presents a deep yellow to bright golden hue. The aromatic profile is expansive and fresh, offering complex layers of dried flowers, ripe stone fruits, wild herbs, and sweet oak spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. On the palate, it is full-bodied and meaty with a powerful citrus backbone, balanced by a saline minerality and a long, savory finish.
