Tasting Notes

Very deep cherry red color with violet hues. The nose is sober and complex, with hints of "candied" black fruit, dried flowers, thyme, lavender and Mediterranean aniseed / floral touches . On the palate it is powerful, with an enveloping texture, elegant tannins, mineral nuances and a persistent and saline finish.

Food Pairing

Perfect with grilled red meats, lamb, stews, game dishes, and aged cheeses.

The deep roots of a historic Monastrell are reborn in this glass. An austere perfume reminiscent of high-altitude stones and herbs, an earthy beat that speaks of time and memory. Each sip is an embrace of authenticity, of the calm earth and the ancient echo of its vineyard.
