- This is a superb example of Monastrell, with its powerful and intense nose of ripe black fruits supported by subtle hints of spice from a deft use of oak. The vibrant fruit is rounded out with a savoury note, and it shows great purity on the finish.
The grapes were carefully selected from the best plots. Fermentation and maceration took place with skin contact in stainless steel tanks and lasted 15 to 25 days. The temperatures were carefully monitored to ensure they did not exceed 28°C. The wine was then aged in new American oak barrels for six months before release.

Winery | The climate is continental, with long hot summers, temperatures reaching 40C, and cold winters falling to 0C, tempered by the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea. Planted at 900 meters elevation, the warm daytime temperatures are mitigated by cooler evenings, creating a long ripening period where the fruit develops concentrated flavours balanced by refreshing acidity. The area is arid with low rainfall, most of which falls during spring and autumn, often during violent storms. The soils are dark and lime-bearing, and some have a hard lime crust; overall, they are permeable and have good moisture-retaining properties, which allows the vines to survive prolonged periods of drought. They are poor in organic matter, and their structure does not support phylloxera due to the sand content. The vines are cultivated without synthetic products and are manually harvested. |
