VINIFICATION: Wine made from 100% Monastrell. Traditional vinification practices are followed with crushing, fermentation in rotative horizontal tanks. Maceration for 8 days at a temperature of 26°C. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in 300lt French oak barrels for a min of 6 months.The new oak is 15% of the all barrels. After barrel ageing, there is a light clarification and cold stabilization. Amicrobic filtration before bottling to preserve all the organoleptic features.

On the nose, the fruitfulness from the Monastrell varietal has been preserved, with subtle confit fruit flavours, blended with smokey hints and roasted tones from the gently toasted French oak barrels. Well balanced and fresh on the palate. Lively, full bodied with great acidity and noble and smooth tannins.
