This wine presents a full-bodied experience with an enticingly high acidity that invigorates the palate.

Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth while enhancing the overall complexity of the wine. Its dryness strikes a perfect balance, making it a delightful choice to enjoy with hearty dishes or simply on its own. This vintage, released in 2009, truly reflects the richness and potential of the Monastrell varietal in its home region.
