Tasting note
Powerful and classic with hints of honey. Its notes are finely smoked and salty, very pleasant nuances of toffee, coffee, tobacco, carob beans, fig and and toasted almonds. Full length and rich palate.
Viticulture
Bodegas Monovar restores ancient Fondillones. Minimal intervention, handpicked Monastrell grapes ferment with indigenous yeast, achieving natural sugar and alcohol levels. 20 years of maturation yields a truly unique wine, unparalleled worldwide.
Vinification
Hand-selected over-ripened grapes of the Monastrell variety. De-stemming, fermentation for 3 weeks with frequent remontage (pumping over). End of fermentation with 16/18 degrees of alcohol and 30 grams of residual sugar content. Racked and aged for 20 years in 1,730-litre barrels of old American oak.
Food Match
A local almond cake, cheeseboard of blue cheeses and long-cured hard cheeses.
