Product Description

Spain's age-old Tarragona region has long been an insider's secret. Its soaring temperatures and ancient vineyards produce wines of remarkable intensity. Here, the Monastrell grape is king (know as Mourvedre in the Rhone where it adds weight to many a Chateauneuf!) Winemakers like Mario Garcia treasure these Monastrell vines as blessed natural gifts, and craft highly acclaimed reds. Last year Mario, whose vines stand in the centuries-old monastery vineyards, enjoyed a clean sweep of 5-star rating for his wines in Spain's premier wine guide! Here Monstrell from 70-year-old vines, renowned for power and intensity, provide an inky black core whilst a dash of noble Temprani llo gives a lovely smooth, deliciously spicy finish. Ideal with rich dishes such as ratatouille, roasted game, serrano ham and chorizo.
