Winemaking notes
80% Garnacha, 10% Tempranillo and 5% Monastrell. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for 7 days at 22 C and then a portion of the wine is matured in oak barrels for 7 months.
Viticultural notes
Grapes are sourced from the La Vina winery in Valencia, on Spain’s Mediterranean coast. Terres dels Alforins is a fertile valley in the south west of the province of Valencia which is called the “Valencian Tuscany”: a multitude of small plots between the sea and the “meseta” where vines have been tended since Roman times. Mostly non-irrigated vineyards with low yields.
Tasting notes
The wine is bright and intensely vibrant red.
A generous nose of fruit aromas with cherry and black berries. On the palate, smooth and soft with red currant and black berry flavors. A long and supple finish with a touch of sweet spice.
Pairing notes
Sensational with slow cooked pork or lamb and other meats from the grill. It can also be matched with moderately spiced meals, such as Moroccan tagines or excellent with hearty vegetarian dishes and mature cheeses.
