Where to buy

Spanish supermarkets and wine shops carry the range most widely. Outside Spain, look for importers of value Spanish wine. Online wine shops may ship, subject to local alcohol laws.

Professional insight

Wine buyers treat Duque de Montebello as a label. They judge each bottle by region.

  • Jumilla bottlings are usually Monastrell, Ribera ones Tempranillo.
  • Crianza and Reserva terms set minimum aging rules.
  • Older vintages of value reds rarely improve with age.
  • Look for the D.O. back label strip.
