This classic example of fruit forward Monastrell is deep cherry red in colour with bright violet tones. Aromas of ripe red fruits, black cherry and damson plums. The palate has an appealing freshness with subtle notes of bittersweet cocoa and herbs on the finish.

Goes well with red meats and hearty vegetarian dishes.
