About this product
The benchmark Las Gravas — old-vine Monastrell from chalky-limestone gravel soils at 700m altitude, from vines averaging 70 years of age on their own ungrafted roots. Dense, concentrated, and complex with blackberry, dried herbs, dark chocolate, earth, and the distinctive iron-mineral character of limestone Monastrell. Fermented in concrete with extended maceration, aged in French oak. A wine of genuine originality and remarkable value.

complement
Monastrell with Iberian pork — a southeastern Spanish pairing of obvious regional logic. Romesco's charred pepper and almond character bridges the wine's fruit while pork's fat is balanced by its tannins.
