ENGUERA WINERY | ALIATS RED 2023 75cl

Product Sheet – Aliats Tinto 2023

Aliats Tinto 2023 is a young and elegant red wine made by Bodegas Enguera in Fontanars dels Alforins (Valencia). It features an equal blend of 50% Monastrell and 50% Marselan, sourced from 20-year-old ungrafted vines on calcareous soils with pebbles at an altitude of 650m.

Harvest is manual, and cold pre-fermentative maceration is practiced for three days. Fermentation occurs in steel tanks, and malolactic fermentation is completed in new French oak barrels, where it ages for another 3 months on its fine lees. Minimal use of sulfites; no filtration or fining.
