Monastrell 12 Meses

Jumilla Monastrell

The Genio Espanol Monastrell 12 Meses is a captivating red wine hailing from Jumilla, an esteemed winegrowing region in Spain. This varietal showcases the rich and robust characteristics typical of Monastrell grapes. With its deep garnet hue, the wine exudes a bouquet of dark fruit aromas, mingling with hints of earthy spices and a touch of smoky oak due to its twelve months of meticulous aging. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure and a delightful complexity, with pronounced fruit intensity that is elegantly balanced by lively acidity. The tannins are structured and firm, providing a pleasantly long finish. This Monastrell is an excellent representative of Jumilla's winemaking prowess and stands out as a testament to the region's ability to produce powerful yet refined wines.
