Description:

A red wine with 4 months in oak. The grapes used for Monterebro Barrica are picked from old vineyards in the Northwest of Jumilla. The fermentation takes place for a period of 2 weeks at a temperature of 27°C. Once the fermentation process is complete, the wine moves into new French and American oak barrels (50/50), where it stays for a period of 4 months. Very intense, with a vivid morello cherry red colour to it. Clean, complex, powerful aromas. Very attractive ripe fruity scents with a hint of quality oak. Well-balanced on the palate, with a good structure. Lively and full of flavour. Full bodied and a very persistent aftertaste. Monterebro Barrica has not been submitted to any kind of stabilization treatment. This may cause the appearance of typical sediments from the natural evolution of the wine.
