The Vineyard

The Rincón de Mira vineyards, surrounded by mountains and influenced by the Mediterranean breeze, enjoy mild winters and warm summers that allow for slow and balanced ripening. The low yields concentrate the essence of Monastrell and reinforce its mineral and deep character.

Tasting Notes

Intense cherry color with purple reflections. The nose reveals ripe red fruit, spices, and fine herbs, with a mineral background that adds complexity.

On the palate, it is structured and balanced, with silky tannins, well-integrated freshness, and a long, persistent finish that leaves a spicy and fruity memory.

Food Pairing

Ideal with traditional rice dishes, inland stews, red meats, cured sausages, and Mediterranean cuisine with character.

A very limited production red wine that combines history, landscape, and tradition. Each numbered bottle reflects the effort of generations dedicated to preserving the soul of Alicante Monastrell.
