About this product
Spain's most celebrated Monastrell — from pre-phylloxera ungrafted Monastrell bush vines over 100 years old on the Jumilla limestone plateau, biodynamically farmed by Jose Maria Vicente, producing wines of extraordinary depth, complexity and freshness that challenge the assumption that Monastrell is incapable of producing wine at the highest level.
