A youthful, low intervention Monastrell from warm Alicante. In the glass, it’s deep ruby colour, with aromas of leather, spices, blackberry, and a touch of lavender. On the palate, it’s dry with flavours of dark fruit, leather, herbs, and a subtle chocolaty finish. Nice tannins with medium body and acidity, it will benefit from decanting. Great for lovers of Primitivo and Rhône reds, this wine also has good aging potential.
