The wine La del Terreno Monastrell is made by bodega La del Terreno, the personal project of the young winemaker Julia Casado.
This blended Spanish red wine is made from Monastrell, Grenache and Airén sourced from 3 parcels planted 30 years ago in soils of granitic gravel at altitudes from 800 to 1,300 metres above sea level, in an area called La Cañada del Jinete, in Sierra de Lavia, south east Murcia, DO Bullas.
The non-destemmed grapes were foot-stomped, macerated with the skins and fermented with wild yeasts in concrete diposits and open wooden vats. After making the final blend, this red wine from Bullas was aged in the diposits for a period for 12 months.
Finally, the red wine La del Terreno Monastrell 2022 was bottled unfiltered.
Decant this minimal intervention wine 30 minutes before drinking.
