About This Wine

Comarca

Monastrell

Our Monastrell was just awarded "Best of Class" and a Gold Medal from the 2023 Los Angeles Invitational Wine & Spirits Competition!

Comarca's new 100 percent Monastrell comes from the southeast quadrant of Spain. This balanced wine offers red and dark fruit notes joined by layers of enticing earthiness and spice. Our Spanish winemaking partners work with 25-30-year-old vines that produce low quantities of plump, flavorful fruit. Monastrell is native to Spain and well suited to its hot weather and dry environment. Rainfall is often scarce, but when it does arrive, limestone and clay soils are quick to soak up the moisture, storing it throughout the summer and keeping vines refreshed. This wine leans slightly lighter than some of Spain's more powerful examples of Monastrell, making it a friendly introduction to this ancient varietal. Enjoy it alongside smoky barbecue sauces and peppery vegetable dishes. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region

Spain

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.

  • A figure representing the Earth tasting note. Earth

This wine is a candidate for decanting. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes, allowing tobacco, earth, and cardamom aromas to join hints of potpourri. The palate is dry, with an even balance of acidity and tannin supporting black cherry, pomegranate, and blackberry.
