"The 2022 Monastrell has no Garnacha whatsoever, as the variety suffered a lot with the hail and was not used for the entry-level wine, which is 100% Monastrell (last year, it had up to 15% Garnacha). It matured in 500-liter and 5,000-liter oak foudres for nine months on average, as it blends different wines from different parts of the property. It has 14.5% alcohol and is juicy and Mediterranean, with floral notes, ripe berry fruit. It's faintly candied, especially when compared with the other wines, with lots of aromatic herbs. It's clean and tasty, with a balanced and elegant palate where the tannins are polished and elegant. It develops a nice note of orange peel that gives it freshness, with a Mediterranean note of esparto grass. This is a triumph and an example of how you can achieve great results through blending. " 93pts Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate
It's just a delicious drink, full and bright. The new 2022 is really good and extremely fruit foward, big, yet juicy and very approachable, best served cool.
