"A superb vintage in the region has produced a great 2014 Reserva, a wine where they select grapes from the soils with more limestone within their estate. A blend of 80% Tempranillo with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, it has good ripeness, power and freshness, coming through as a textbook Reserva. It's still young and lively after an élevage in French barrels (40% of them new) for some 20 months. This was inspired by some wines from Bordeaux, even though it has a somewhat more Mediterranean profile... The palate of this 2014 is better than the nose at the moment. Sisseck compared 2014 to 1995, an almost perfect year in the region."
94 points - Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Aug 2018
"Hacienda Monasterio tends to make its best wines in cool vintages like 2014. Combining Tempranillo with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is fresh and leafy with notes of green herbs and aromatic coffee bean oak."

The concept of Hacienda Monasterio came about in 1990, when Peter Sisseck arrived in Ribera del Duero to take charge of the winery and establish the vineyards. Two years later, Carlos de la Fuente joined the team as Peter's right-hand man.
The property spans 167 hectares, with 108 of them being dedicated to vineyards. It is situated between the towns of Pesquera and Valbuena de Duero in the Duero valley, both renowned for their high-quality wines.
In the late 19th century, the estate was in the possession of the Lecanda family, who introduced an innovative approach to winemaking in the region.
The present-day wine cellar was constructed between 1991 and 1992 and was designed by the renowned French architect Philippe Maziéres, who had previously worked with prestigious wineries such as Château Margaux and Château d'Yquem Prieure-Léchiné.
