VINEYARD AND SURROUNDINGS
Mediterranean mountain vineyard in the Pouets de Pedreguer subdivision, on calcareous and clay soils, between traditional terraces, forest and proximity to the Mediterranean.
DEVELOPMENT
- Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in open tanks.
- After fermentation, approximately half remains in stainless steel.
- The other half goes into new, high-quality French oak barrels.
- Separate aging for about twelve months, pairing and bottling.
WINE STYLE
A wine with a more classic, deep and structured cut than Vinya del Bosc. The Monastrell brings Mediterranean maturity, body and character; the Syrah adds freshness, color, spice and a more polished texture. The producer defines it as a particularly elegant Monastrell.
ORIGINAL ORGANOLEPTIC PROFILE
- View: Deep cherry red, with maroon or violet rim.
- Nose: Ripe black fruit, plum, blackberry, low forest, pepper, cocoa and balsamic notes, with toast and sweet spices.
- Taste: Concentrated and structured, but elegant, with ripe tannins, breadth, black fruit and a long finish with a Mediterranean character.
SERVICE AND PAIRING
Temperature: 16-18 °C. It can benefit from a slight ventilation or decantation.
Pairings: baked lamb, goat, red meats, cheeks, baked rice, game, cured cheeses and intense Mediterranean cuisine.
Observation: Despite the word “White” in its name, it is a red wine; the name alludes to the plot or to its traditional denomination. Exact percentages, production and precise duration of aging are pending official confirmation.
