Spain, DO Jumilla
Monastrell
Description
With a deep red colour with ruby reflections, fragrances are expressive and intense, with touches of red and black fruits, sweet spices and soft smoked from the aging. Provides a frank taste to the palate, fresh and lively, that speaks of the vintage, supported by its fruity character. Widespread and with volume to the palate, with fine tannins and a persistent ending where you can appreciate its complexity. It’s a singular red wine that transmits our terroirs and philosophy.
Analytical data
dry
Vineyard
Monastrell 100%: “La Melera” plot, dryland vineyard in glass and 40 years old. Located at “La Venta del Puerto” at an altitude of 675 meters with a very poor and gritty ground, it provides small grapes with a high concentration level and good acidity.
Viticulture
Grapes are manually harvested in boxes of 10-15 Kg. Transported to the wine cellar with extreme care, going into cold storage for 24 hours at 6ºC. Afterwards, the best grapes are selected on table before the winemaking process.
Harvest Notes
Vintage with a cold and humid winter and a very hot summer, a year of very little harvest, few and small bunches, granting very delicious and concentrated grapes. There was a considerable advance in maturation being the earliest known vintage in “Jumilla”.
