WINE DESCRIPTION

The resulting wine is a beautiful expression of the Monastrell grape, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earth.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This well-structured blend of Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon from Jumilla is a delightful, balanced wine.On the palate, it offers bright acidity that supports its juicy blackberry, raspberry, and plum flavors. The tannins are soft and supple, and the finish is long and savory. A hint of spice and oak adds complexity and depth. This is a great everyday wine that will pair nicely with a variety of dishes.
