WINE DESCRIPTION
Sierra Salinas MO Monastrell is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Sierra Salinas in the Alicante appellation of Spain. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which provide ideal growing conditions for the Monastrell grape variety. 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 intense aromas of black fruit, spices, and vanilla. The tannins are firm yet silky, and the finish is long and complex. This wine is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Alicante region.

ORIGINS
Winery: Sierra Salinas
Region: Valencia
Valencia, a wine region stretching along Spain's eastern coast, boasts a long history of winemaking dating back to the Roman era. It's one of the country's largest wine producers, encompassing two distinct Denominaciones de Origen (DOs): Valencia DO and Utiel-Requena DO. The Valencia DO is known for its diverse offerings, including light and refreshing Cava sparkling wines and rich red wines. Utiel-Requena DO, located further inland with a more continental climate, excels in full-bodied red wines, particularly those made from Tempranillo and the local Bobal grape. CUSTOMER RATING
