Los frailes

Winery: Casa Los Frailes
Region: Valencia

Red Wine

Variety: 100% Monastrell

Certification: Organic

Soil
Soils are alluvial origin, deep, sandy, and covered by reddish-yellow limestone. As these soils are the richest in the estate, these soils are keeping the natural green cover for the sheep and attracting birds and insects. The freshness, optima acidity, and delicate aromas coming from these soils, are present in all the wines from the estate.

Winemaking
The harvest is manual as the Monastrell is planted in bush vines. The maceration process is over the lees with soft battonages. Malolactic fermentation as well as the ageing is done in ancient concrete vats used by the Friars centuries ago. These concrete vats are ideal due to the porosity of the walls, allowing microxigenation for a reductive grape like the Monastrell. Aged for 6 months in old cement vats.

Tasting Notes
It is a complete “vin de Plaisir”, fresh, fluid, and juicy with the straight character of our Monastrell. Served at a temperature of 14-15ºC, it is an excellent thirst-quenching and outdoor wine.

Alcohol: 13.5%
