About this product
From 70-year-old ungrafted Monastrell vines on Jumilla's calcareous limestone plateau at 750m. The wine is near-black in colour — the density of ancient vine concentration. The nose offers dark plum, black olive, dried thyme, and bittersweet chocolate from partial French oak ageing. The palate is massive but structured, with velvety tannins, remarkable concentration, and a finish of mineral-edged dark fruit that lasts over 45 seconds.
