The red Monastrell 2016 Plus+ has a little less alcohol than the 2015, and the wine feels fresher. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in 10,000-liter oak foudres and 500-liter oak barrels. It was bottled unfined. 2016 was a cooler year, and the wines show more elegance and freshness. There is a touch of spicy oak, a little more integrated than in previous years, and there is more fruit and some grainy tannins. There is finesse, but it's a little obscured by the oak. 28,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2018. ... More details

A red with cherry and chocolate aromas and flavors. Medium body, round tannins and a fresh, bright finish. Clean and well made. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Winery
Cherry red color of medium layer. The nose of the wine is intense and with balsamic aromas (cedar) originating from its aging in French oak. The mouth is balanced, with memories of charcoal, nuts like almond and pepper at the end. Tannins are nice and elegant.

green grapes

Varietal: Mourvedre

In many parts of the world, from Washington State to France, Australia to Spain, wineries have been working with the Mourvèdre varietal grape to achieve fantastic and fascinating results. The grape varietal is actually a relatively ancient one, believed to have been brought to Spain from Asia Minor over two thousand years ago. The Mourvèdre grape is generally considered to be a difficult one to cultivate, as it requires both heat, light and moisture, meaning wineries wishing to grow Mourvèdre need to be well irrigated, but in hot regions where the vines will be safe from rot. The grapes hold lots of unusual and interesting flavors, ranging from meaty and gamey, to brambly and full of dark fruit notes. As such, the wines they produce can be matched with lots of different foods, making them popular around the world.

Country: Spain

From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
