WINE DESCRIPTION
Honoro Vera Monastrell is a red wine produced by Bodegas Juan Gil in the Jumilla appellation of Spain. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which results in a cooler climate and slower ripening of the grapes. This allows for a longer growing season and more complex flavors in the wine. The Monastrell grape is the star of this wine, with its bold and intense character. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla. It is a perfect choice for those who enjoy bold and flavorful red wines.
