The most exclusive selection
Cuesta de Reig is made exclusively from a selection of Bodegas Alejandro's most distinctive historic Monastrell vineyards. These vines are cultivated in the traditional bush vine system and are dry-farmed, where adaptation to the terroir and limited water availability are essential to the grape's identity.
The harvest is done manually, with a particularly rigorous selection of the bunches. Only those grapes that meet the necessary conditions of ripeness, concentration, and balance are used in the production of this wine.
The result is a production of approximately 800 bottles per vintage, conceived as a particularly limited interpretation of the winery's Monastrell.
Time as part of wine
After fermentation, Cuesta de Reig spends 24 months in French oak barrels. This extended aging process is carefully integrated to provide depth, structure, and complexity without altering the varietal's character.
Time does not seek to impose a style, but to allow the wine to gain dimension and harmony while preserving the precision and freshness necessary to express its origin.
View: Deep and intense red.
Nose: Complex and elegant, with black and red fruit, balsamic and spicy notes and delicate floral nuances.
Mouth: Deep, precise, and harmonious, with silky tannins, firm freshness, and a remarkably fine texture. The finish is long and persistent, with an elegant aftertaste.
An exceptional edition
Cuesta de Reig represents the most selective end of Bodegas Alejandro's production. It's not simply a limited production: each vintage depends on the vineyard and the harvest meeting the necessary conditions to be included in this selection.
The combination of historic vineyards, bush vine cultivation and dry farming, manual selection and aging for 24 months defines a wine deeply linked to its origin and conceived to express Monastrell from a perspective of maximum demand.
Ideal for red meats, game, traditional stews, and aged cheeses. Its depth and balance also allow it to be enjoyed slowly, without the need for accompaniment. It is recommended to serve it between 16 and 18 °C.

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.
