Single plot in Fontanars dels Alforins, dry-farmed and organically grown. Whole-cluster fermentation and native yeasts. 10 months' ageing in a 500 L barrel. Very limited edition of 1,300 bottles. A project shared with Javi Revert and Manu Sanmiguel: one same origin —the L'Altet de Torró plot—, three different interpretations. Monastrell expressed at an altitude that changes the rules of the variety.

Body
Fruit
Tannins
Acidity

Bright cherry-red colour, clean and of medium depth. Very aromatic, floral nose: hints of violets and dried flowers, crunchy cherry aromas, pomegranate and a touch of blood orange. Mineral, stony, very fresh background. Tense, juicy palate with a linear finish, far from the classic warm or dense Monastrell. Fresh red fruit combined with a chalky, precise texture. Long, clean, very spicy finish with a subtle saline nuance.
