WINE DESCRIPTION

4 Monos Cien Lanzas Cenicientos is an expressive and vibrant red wine hailing from the Cenicientos area in the Sierra de Gredos, a mountain range near Madrid, Spain. Produced by the dynamic winemaking team of 4 Monos (Four Monkeys), this wine is a testament to their philosophy of minimal intervention and deep respect for the terroir. The wine is crafted predominantly from Garnacha (Grenache), along with other local varieties, sourced from old vines grown on granite soils at high altitudes. These factors contribute to the wine's distinct minerality and freshness. The grapes undergo natural fermentation and the wine is aged in a mix of large oak vats and smaller barrels, ensuring a delicate integration of wood and preserving the purity of the fruit. 4 Monos Cien Lanzas Cenicientos is a shining example of the potential of the Sierra de Gredos region, offering a wine that is both terroir-driven and full of character.
