Cuesta de Reig is a tribute to Bodegas Alejandro To the generations who have dedicated their lives to the vineyard. It is born from the desire to preserve a family legacy and to express, through wine, the identity of a land worked for decades with patience, respect and dedication.
Made exclusively with Monastrell, This wine features Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Alicante. The grapes come from traditional, dry-farmed vineyards trained in the bush vine system, where the low yields result in fruit of great concentration and balance. The harvest is done by hand, selecting only the bunches that have reached their optimal ripeness.
After fermentation, the wine remains for around 24 months in French oak barrels, a prolonged aging that provides depth, structure and an elegant integration of the wood, always respecting the personality of the Monastrell and the character of the vineyard.
On the nose, it offers great complexity, with aromas of ripe black fruit, spices, cocoa, balsamic hints, and delicate toasted notes. On the palate, it is ample, deep, and balanced, with silky tannins, a smooth texture, and a long finish that evolves slowly with each glass.
With production limited to 842 numbered bottles, Cuesta de Reig represents a particularly careful production, where every detail, from the vineyard to the bottling, responds to the same philosophy: to produce a wine that reflects its origin and the work of those who have made this story possible.
Some wines are born to accompany a meal. Others, to commemorate a place and those who have cared for it for generations. Cuesta de Reig belongs to the latter group.
This wine is ideal for pairing with red meats, game, traditional stews, and aged cheeses, although it can also be enjoyed on its own, allowing it to evolve slowly in the glass. It is recommended to serve it between 16 and 18 °C to fully appreciate its expression.

A wine that surprises from the very first sip. It has a lot of personality, yet it's elegant and very easy to enjoy. Aromas of ripe fruit and spices stand out, with an intense, balanced palate and a very long finish. Without a doubt, a wine to share on special occasions, and one that leaves you wanting more. Furthermore, the delivery was fast and very well packaged, and Lumi's service was excellent: friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail.

Exceptional. I bought this wine on the recommendation of the shop where I buy my wines, and it has pleasantly surprised me; it had been a long time since I had tasted a wine like this.
