Description
- Oak sice
- Dark plum & black cherry
- Silky mothfeel
- Soft tannins
"Gorgeously fruited and instantly appealing, the wine shows dark plum and black cherry characters with nuances of olive, anise and earthy mushrooms on the nose. The palate delivers lovely weight and fruit intensity, well supported by silky texture and a lingering dry finish. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2019
This wine is intense and shiny with a decadent cherry red colour. On the nose, it blooms pleasant, ripe, red fruit aromas, sweet spices (liquorice). It has very elegant and wooden notes that do not cover the intense fruitiness. It is well-balanced, fresh, with elegant soft tannins and a good acidity. The finish is long and well structured.
This wine is 100% Monastrell, aging for 6 months in oak barrels. Short pruning in Bush trained vines. This was harvested on September 2018 and fermented for 8-10 days in 24-26 degree temperatures, in stainless steel tanks.
This wine is vegan friendly!
Food Pairing: Pair with lamb, meat stews, grilled meats in general, spiced food, cured cheese & assorted tapas.
