WINE DESCRIPTION

EGO Marionette Monastrell - Syrah is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Juan Gil, a renowned winery in the Jumilla of Spain. The wine is a blend of Monastrell and Syrah grapes, sourced from the winery's own vineyards that are situated at high altitudes and have poor soils, resulting in low yields and concentrated flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels for several months. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with intense aromas of black fruit, spices, and vanilla, and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate bold and complex red wines.
