2020 Las Aldeas Monastrell Alicante D.O.P.

Dive into an authentic Spanish red with our 2020 Las Aldeas Monastrell. Intense aromas of black currant and red fruit teem out of the glass, signaling the layered profile of this Monastrell. On the palate, this red displays velvety, smooth tannins accentuating the hints of elegant Spanish spices like white pepper. The finish is imbued with texture and minerality, concluding a complex and rewarding sipping experience. Originating from the Alicante region in Spain, This 2020 Las Aldeas seeks to celebrate the villagers in inland España that once worked in vineyards all throughout the nation. As Spanish citizens migrated to cities throughout the twentieth century, las Aldeas withered away — this wine seeks to bring their spirit back. Cultivated in the village of El Morrón, this red benefitted from limestone, gravel soils, and medium-high altitudes of nearly 2,000 feet. This created a warm climate with relatively cool nights, perfect for amplifying the flavors in this juicy Monastrell. Las Aldeas Monastrell makes the ideal company for rich Spanish meat dishes like beef stew, jamón Iberico, venison, or the local Figatells B.B.Q.
