Valencia DO

Violet, ripe black fruit, smoky spice and savoury notes appear alongside dark plum, blueberry, cedar and liquorice. Bright acidity accompanies well-integrated oak, structure and weight. The single-plot wine is made entirely from Monastrell grown on sandy silt over a limestone crust at 550 metres. Forty percent of the stems are retained during a thirty-five-day fermentation and maceration in oak casks, followed by eight months in French oak.
