Marquee Artisan Wines

Intense cherry color with glints of mauve.

The wine is ample and very well balanced with silky well integrated tannins. The finish is long and persistent with a final impression of spiciness.

First you will find aromas of ripe back berry, blackcurrant and sweet aromas of dried figs and cherries, quince jelly and mocha.

Grilled Pork, Ox Tail, Bean Dishes, and Blue Cheese.

100% Monastrell aged for four months in a combination of French and American Oak show off this regal variety. Monastrell (called Mourvedre in other parts of the world) is known for round, rich flavors and has been planted in the dry, wind-swept plateaus of Yecla for hundreds of years. This hand-picked wine comes from bush vines that are spaced far apart (usually over 2 meters) to allow for deep roots and dry farming.
