Bodegas Monte La Reina
Bodegas Monte La Reina produces wines from Toro, the rugged plateau region of Castilla y León in northwestern Spain. The winery focuses on the indigenous Tinta de Toro—a dense, structured expression of Tempranillo—alongside Tempranillo itself and the region's signature white, Verdejo. The Castillo de Monte la Reina VS Vendimia Seleccionada, made from Tinta de Toro, represents the winery's commitment to the grape's dark fruit intensity and mineral spine. Pensamiento Crianza, a Tempranillo offering, demonstrates the winery's range across the region's primary red varieties. A Verdejo rounds out the portfolio, capturing the crisp, herbaceous character typical of Toro's white wines. Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate have all rated the winery's releases, reflecting their presence in the critical conversation around modern Spanish wine.
