WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Intense red color with violet reflections and aroma reminiscent of black fruits, with toasted and smoked touches. It has sweet but subtle tannins that make it a very well-structured wine.
Ideal with game meat, lamb, stews and grilled meat. It can also be paired with pasta dishes and hors d'oeuvres.
75% Monastell, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon age for 12 months in French and American oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2021 Fuerza is a blend of Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon from Jumilla, aged in barrels. Aromas highlight vanilla, oak and a touch of smoke over black ripe fruit and varietal spice notes. It is dry, with grippy tannins and slightly drying oak. The fruit underpins the finish. A crowd-pleasing style.
- Vinous, 92 pts.
Aromatic black currant and black raspberry aromas lift from the glass followed by youthful strawberry and slightly-more-mature-dried cranberry flavors that bring along black tea, rosehip and hibiscus. An earthy palate complements fruit flavors on the nose with reassuring relaxed tannins that calm. Pair with burgers, olives and grilled meats.
