Enology

Meticulously crafted from 100% Monastrell grapes grown at high altitude (~830 m) in the limestone‑rich soils of Hoya de los Hermanos, Bullas. The vines are over 50 years old and cultivated using goblet training. Following cold maceration (12–48 h), fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks over 23 days. The wine is aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels (500L and 225L) to develop structure and complexity. Minimal intervention with no clarification or stabilization ensures expressive purity. 

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby color with violet reflections. The nose opens with ripe black fruit—blackberry and plum—enriched by Mediterranean herb notes (thyme, rosemary), balsamic undertones, and hints of toasted oak and chocolate. On the palate, it is elegant and full‑bodied, with balanced tannins, fresh acidity, and a mineral finish that is long and intense. A subtle spice and balsamic complexity linger throughout. 

Food Pairing

Pairs exceptionally well with grilled or roasted red meats, lamb, game dishes, and rich pasta. The wine’s aromatic breadth and firmness make it an excellent companion to charcuterie boards, Mediterranean herbs like rosemary or thyme, and dishes with smoky paprika flavors. Ideal with dark chocolate desserts as well.
