La Tremenda

2010 Alicante Monastrell

This 2010 vintage showcases an intense ruby color that alludes to its rich character. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied profile, coupled with a delightful balance of high acidity that brings freshness and vibrancy. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with bold notes of dark berries and ripe plum intermingling with hints of earthy undertones. The tannins are notably firm, providing structure and depth to the wine, while its dryness enhances the overall complexity. Enjoy this exquisite offering with hearty dishes or simply savor it on its own for a truly memorable experience.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
