Castillo de Monseran 蒙塞倫堡
蒙塞倫堡 (Castillo de Monséran)位於西班牙東北部的古老法定產區-D.O.P. Carineña (卡里涅納)，由羅馬人於西元前50年建立，是歐洲最古老的保護產區之一，位於巴塞隆納”和”馬德里”中間。
Carineña產區是公認的Garnacha品種發源地，而之後Garnacha品種才轉移到法國南部，成為隆河(Rhone)產區的重要品種。Carineña產區的風土條件與南隆河相似， 不少高品質葡萄酒皆來自此產區。總釀酒師-Hugh Ryman從法國波爾多大學畢業後便展開世界產區巡禮，曾於澳洲的酒莊釀酒，與澳洲傳奇釀酒師-Brian Croser共事。
釀酒師Jesús Prieto生長在Carineña產區，接受當地釀酒教育，對當地風土瞭若指掌，深知如何展現Carineña最棒風味。 Hugh Ryman的釀造知識與Jesús Prieto的傳統工藝，造就了如此迷人的「蒙塞倫堡葡萄酒」。

HISTORY
During the Middle Ages grape growing and inemaking prospered under the protection of several monasteries, and by the 16th century vineyards covered 50% of the territory of the province of Zaragoza.
In the nineteenth century wines from Cariñena were used to boost the production of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, but it began to find its own identity with the granting of Denominación de Origen (DO) status in 1932.
The 1990s was a period of rapid development due partly to numerous mergers of small wineries and cooperatives, and to a change in the style of the wines produced to suit modern palates.
OUR PARTNER INCARIÑENA IS BODEGASSAN VALERO, WHICHWAS CREATED IN 1945 BY60 GRAPE GROWERS AS AWINEMAKINGCOOPERATIVE.

BODEGAS SAN VALERO
The company has a technical team which includes viticultural and winemaking experts who closely monitor the growth of the vines, from the pruning season to the maturation of the grape, thus determining the optimum time for the grape harvest and the final destination of each parcel of grapes once they are picked.
The bodega’s winemaking facility was modernised starting in 1999, with a five-year investment plan totalling 8 million Euros (US$10m). As a result, the bodega now has a state-of-the-art winery with 12,000 small oak barrels and an annual production of 1.5 million cases. The two bottling lines each have a capacity of 12,000 bottles per hour and there is also a bag-in-box line. The bottling facility is certified to the IFS, BRC and ISO 9001 standards.
