Why You’ll Love It
A Mediterranean Masterpiece – Born from the sun-drenched highlands of Alicante, this captivating blend of Monastrell, Syrah, and Alicante Bouschet is a true expression of the land—where arid mountain slopes meet fragrant, windswept woodlands.
A Symphony of Soil and Soul – Each variety is harvested at its peak, fermented separately with native yeasts in small stainless steel tanks to preserve purity. A gentle touch of stems (20%) brings earthy structure, while aging 20% of the wine in 500L French oak barrels lends depth, polish, and poise.
Crafted by Nature, Nurtured by Tradition – Sustainably grown in the garrigue-scented plots of “El Veneno” and “Los Burros,” the vines are lovingly tended with minimal irrigation and maximum respect for the environment. Monastrell thrives in dry-farmed goblet-trained vineyards; Syrah and Alicante Bouschet stretch toward the sky on trellises, kissed by the Mediterranean sun.
Evocative. Expressive. Exquisite. – This is not just a wine; it is a portrait of place. A small-production treasure that captures the rugged romance of Spain’s southeastern coast with every sip—where wild herbs meet sun-warmed soil, and centuries of winemaking whisper through the glass.
