Galeam Monastrell Organic, Alicante 2020

Galeam Monastrell Organic

Alicante - Spain - 2019

14.5% ABV 

Organic, characterful Monastrell from south-eastern Spain.

Tasting notes

Pronounced dark almost raisiny fruit aromas with spicy notes. The palate has ripe blackcurrant and plum characters, savoury notes and hints of black pepper. Supple tannins add some grip and complexity and the finish is surprisingly fresh for such a full-bodied red.

Food match

Serve with red meats, game and strong cheeses.

Production

The organically-grown Monastrell grapes are selected from vineyards in the Alicante region of eastern Spain. After destemming the grapes are gently pressed and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation at 26ºC with selected yeasts. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel.
