A single-plot wine made exclusively from Monastrell from a vineyard in the upper part of the Serra de la Ombría. Planted on sandy soils and benefiting from groundwater, this vineyard enjoys especially cool conditions that allow a different expression of Monastrell: finer, more vertical and deeply tied to this landscape.

Fruit
Tannins
Acidity
Cherry-red colour. Nose of fresh red fruit —cherries, strawberries— with a floral and mineral note. Light, very drinkable palate, soft tannins and present acidity. A different Monastrell, without the usual excesses of ripeness of the area, made to preserve the freshness of the Terres dels Alforins.
