Description
Why we love it
A bold, smoky red from Monastrell grapes (the Spanish name for Mourvèdre) grown in shallow, stony soils.
Tasting notes
Bright cherry red in colour. On the nose, pronounced aromas of cloves, rose, tree bark, tar and turmeric. Velvety and juicy on the palate with flavours of ripe black cherry and blackcurrant, and dusty tannins.
Food pairing
Pairs well with smoked meats and barbecued meats.
Additional information
The grapes are from mountain foothills from a vineyard where the soil is shallow, very stony and rich in magnesium.
The grapes were manually harvested followed by minimal intervention in the winery, with wild yeasts, light bâtonnage, minimum use of sulphites and light filtration. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation took place in old concrete tanks, with the wine subsequently aged for 10 months in old concrete tanks and clay amphorae.
