Semele Crianza

Semele is a red wine from Ribera del Duero prepared by Montebaco, a winery that was founded in the mid-80s by Manuel Esteban and his family. It was not until 1994 that the first wine cellar was developed.

The climate of this area is extremely continental, characterized by dry summers, hard and long winters and low rainfall. A large temperature variation between stations is recorded and also between day and night. This wine is a blend of Tempranillo and Merlot from the Monte Alto farm, a vineyard of 50 hectares of vines 20 years old. The vineyard was planted on clay-limestone soil, about 850-900 meters above sea level, between the towns of Valbuena and Pesquera de Duero. Semele remains in the barrel for 12 months to mature.
