Finca el Serrano Monastrell

Finca El Serrano Monastrell, DO Alicante 2023

The grapes come from the 5 hectare Finca El Serrano plot, planted in 1980, with poor limestone soils. 
Here the climate is very warm, more continental in the mountainous areas inland. The Monastrell 
grapes are harvested at the start of October - fermented at 25ºC with their own yeasts from the skins, 
and with a gentle pumping over. Pressing is carried out after 30 days of maceration. Malolactic 
fermentation takes place in stainless steel and the wine is racked to French oak foudres to be aged for 
six months before bottling. Cultivation and winemaking are carried out with as little intervention as 
possible, trying to reflect the full potential of the terroir.
 
TASTING NOTE
Intense aromas of ripe plum and bramble fruit together with toasted oak. The palate is meaty and 
complex, with balanced tannins and a long and rich finish.
 
FOOD MATCH
The peppery and spicier edge makes this a perfect match for a sirloin on the bbq or if on a tighter 
budget a merguez sausage.
