Old Vines

Alicante Monastrell

Tarima Hill Old Vines is a captivating Monastrell wine hailing from the prestigious Alicante region of Spain. This wine presents a delightful full-bodied experience with a vibrant red hue that entices at first glance. The acidity is pronounced, offering a bright and lively profile that enhances its overall freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing enticing notes of dark berries, plum, and a hint of spice, which are beautifully complemented by well-structured tannins that provide a firm backbone without overpowering the palate. As an off-dry red, this wine exhibits a pleasant balance that makes it incredibly food-friendly, perfect for pairing with grilled meats or rich stews. This expression of Monastrell not only highlights the terroir of Alicante but also pays homage to the old vines that contribute to its depth and character.
