The headquarters of the Regulatory Council of the Designation of Origin Monterrei has hosted, this morning, the Tasting of Qualification of the Harvest 2019.

In this tasting representatives of professional associations and the official panel of the denomination have participated, who have qualified as “very good” the 2019 vintage of the wines of Monterrei. Said tasting team highlighted: “in whites, the diversity originated in the vineyards by the mixture of varieties, balancing memories of fruits and flowers, with freshness of oceanic character typical of the vintage; while in reds, an optimal maturation giving rise to wines with aromas typical of the varietals of the denomination”.

In order to evaluate the present harvest, a proportional representation of wines of the denomination has been submitted to the judgment of the panel. These samples have been analyzed by each of the tasters, who have made a “blind” assessment of all of them, in order to maintain criteria of objectivity as they are anonymous samples.
