Monastrell

2022 Temecula Valley Mourvedre

The Altisima Winery Monastrell from the 2022 vintage showcases the outstanding qualities of Mourvèdre, a varietal that thrives in the warm climate of the Temecula Valley. This red wine presents a captivating deep ruby hue, enticing the senses before the first sip. On the palate, it demonstrates a medium body that is both approachable and satisfying, allowing for easy drinking while maintaining character. The acidity is pleasantly refreshing, providing a nice balance that enhances the wine's overall vibrancy. Rich notes of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, mingle with hints of herbal undertones, showcasing the complexity often found in well-crafted Mourvèdre wines. The tannins are firm yet refined, contributing to a structured mouthfeel without overpowering the fruit. With a dry profile, this wine is food-friendly, making it an excellent companion for various dishes, from grilled meats to hearty pasta. Each glass of Altisima Winery Monastrell invites exploration and enjoyment, reflecting the unique terroir of its region.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
