Partner wineryMade with Bodega Cerrón

Adele is LEBULC Celler's red, made in collaboration with Bodega Cerrón from old-vine Monastrell — plots more than 45 years old — with 10% Garnacha that adds freshness and an irreverent touch to the seriousness of Monastrell. Fermentation in concrete with stems and a long thirteen-month ageing in 1,500-litre foudre give it structure, complexity and a depth that surprises with its cleanliness. An intense, honest red with the terroir of the Terres dels Alforins as its main argument.

Acidity

Medium-to-deep cherry-red colour, clean, bright, with youthful violet reflections at the rim. Very expressive, aromatic nose: ripe red and black fruit, herbal touches of Mediterranean scrub and a subtle limestone mineral background that gives it character. On the palate it surprises with its tremendous agility, fluidity and fruitiness — despite the inherent structure of Monastrell, the very lively acidity gives it freshness and an unexpected lightness. Long, round finish with the irreverent, jovial touch of the Garnacha.
