4 Monos started the way good things often do: four friends met while hiking in the Sierra de Gredos, fell hard for the mountains, and decided to make wine there. Located about 80km west of Madrid at elevations between 600 and 1,200 meters, the Gredos range is granite and old bush vines and wildflowers — a landscape that sits somewhere between Mediterranean and Alpine, and produces wines that feel just as alive.

This flight moves through the range. We're opening with the GR10 Blanco, an Albillo-based white from old vines, then into the GR10 Tinto, a regional red that captures the freshness and transparency Gredos Garnacha is known for, and finishing with Cien Lanzas Cenicientos, a single-village expression from higher-elevation parcels that shows a little more depth and structure. Three wines, one mountain range, a lot of ground covered.
