The Olivares Altos de la Hoya Monastrell is a remarkable wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Monastrell grape variety. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, accompanied by hints of spice and earthy undertones. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity that provides a refreshing balance. Flavors of dark fruits, such as blackberries and blackcurrants, dominate the palate, complemented by notes of vanilla and a touch of oak. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of ripe fruit and subtle spice. This Monastrell wine pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, especially lamb or beef. Its robust flavors and firm structure make it an ideal companion for hearty dishes like braised short ribs or roasted game meats. Additionally, its earthy undertones and balanced acidity make it a great match for dishes featuring mushrooms or truffles. For a delightful combination, try it with a rich and flavorful Spanish paella or a plate of aged cheeses.
