Monastrell

Monastrell – powerful, dark, unmistakable

Monastrell is a grape variety that does not do things by halves. The wines are deep in color, full-bodied in body, and bring a dark fruitiness that ranges from ripe berries to spicy, almost earthy notes. If you are looking for wines with substance and character, you have come to the right place. At the same time, Monastrell can be surprisingly accessible – depending on the aging, sometimes juicy and uncomplicated, sometimes complex and age-worthy.

At home in Southeast Spain

Monastrell feels at home where the sun burns and the soils are barren. The Denominaciones Jumilla and Yecla in the Murcia region are considered the classic home of this variety – exactly where many of our winemakers are rooted. The hot, dry climate ensures the characteristic ripeness and concentration that makes Monastrell so unmistakable.
