Monastrell: a variety with a Mediterranean soul<\/h3>\n

The Monastrell variety is one of the most emblematic red grapes of the Mediterranean region. Resilient, expressive, and with a unique personality, it adapts perfectly to the warm climate, calcareous soils, and low rainfall of the area. The result: intense, fruity wines with notes of ripe fruit, aromatic herbs, and a character that combines power and smoothness. <\/p>\n

Our Con un Par Monastrell<\/strong> and Finca del Mar Monastrell<\/strong> wines come from the Alicante DO<\/strong> wine region, a historic area where the Monastrell variety reaches its full potential. The warm climate, calcareous soils, and low rainfall favor intense wines, full of ripe fruit and with that distinctly Mediterranean character that captivated critic James Suckling, who awarded them 91 points. The Alicante DO is renowned for its long tradition and unwavering commitment to quality, making it one of the leading regions for single-varietal Monastrell wines. <\/p>\n
