{"title":"Monastrell","description":"\u003ch1\u003e Buy or order Monastrell wine\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n \nThe Spanish Monastrell grape is better known in other countries as Mourvedre or Mataro. For years, the Monastrell grape was neglected, but thankfully, it's made a comeback, and the Spanish have embraced this beautiful grape. Today, Monastrell is the most widely cultivated grape in Spain, along with Garnacha, and that's quite something. The grape ripens quickly and releases warm and impressive aromas and flavors. A thick skin ensures deep colors in the glass.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \nThe history of Monastrell, or Mourvedre, goes back a long way and is linked to the town of Murviedro, near Valencia. It was there that the grape first saw the light of day. The now-old vines produce rich, full clusters that are invaluable to Spanish viticulture. Monastrell thrives in extremely hot conditions, which is essential in Spanish vineyards. As the vines age, the grapes develop more depth, resulting in more powerful red wines. Many rosé wines are also made from Monastrell. This is becoming increasingly common, and with their beautiful light pink color, they rival French rosé wines.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Monastrell taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nDelicious fruit with many powerful flavors—that's what the Monastrell grape stands for. In most cases, the wine is very dark in color, thanks to its thick skin. When smelling a Monastrell wine, it often reveals nuances of cherry, blackberry, and raspberry, as well as some clove and rustic notes. The taste of an unaged wine is primarily very fruity, as we see in the Jumilla region. In the Valencia and Alicante regions, Monastrell wines are often aged in oak, which in turn produces deeper flavors of light spice, stewed black fruit, and hints of vanilla and cedar. In the best Monastrell wines, we also taste and smell notes of coffee grounds, sweet tobacco, and toasted notes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e What do we eat with a Monastrell Wine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nIf you have a nice piece of beef, a glass of Monastrell is an excellent choice. This wine pairs beautifully with a variety of meat dishes, from steak to Iberian. Stews and sausages are also a perfect pairing, as is hard cheese. Monastrell is also excellent with a BBQ or confit red poultry.","products":[{"product_id":"marius-monastrell-almansa-single-vineyard","title":"Marius Monastrell Almansa Single Vineyard","description":"\u003ch2 data-start=\"381\" data-end=\"467\" class=\"\"\u003e Monastrell Almansa DO 'Marius' Single Vineyard – Monastrell with power and finesse\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"469\" data-end=\"891\" class=\"\"\u003e The Monastrell 'Marius' Single Vineyard is a characterful red wine from Almansa, southeastern Spain.

What's also special about this winery is that it's the only winery in the region that doesn't sell its wines to the cooperative, but rather produces and bottles them themselves.

These two Spanish classics are aged entirely in oak barrels. This period, which lasts approximately 10 to 12 months, gives this wine a wonderfully rich character. However, before this red wine is ready, a great deal of work needs to be done in the vineyards. Both grape varieties are planted high in the ground and are at least 40 years old. Furthermore, each grape variety has different requirements for a balanced growing season. It is therefore important that each grape variety receives what it needs, such as sunshine, cool conditions, and sufficient nutrients. Therefore, considerable pruning in the vineyards is required to provide the grapes with the right nutrients. At perfect ripeness, the grapes are hand-picked and then pressed, after which vinification begins. The final oak aging of 10 to 12 months ensures a full-bodied and powerful result.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Top notch Reserva! \u003c\/h2\u003eA true Reserva! The moment we poured this red wine, we were already convinced. The deep, dark red color with purple rims suggested this would be a big one. This is immediately apparent on the nose: ripe cherries and notes of plum, vanilla, fig, and oak complete this glass of wine. On the palate, this Marius Reserva is full and powerful with silky tannins. Beautiful hints of cherries and berries, along with dark chocolate and vanilla, make it a wine we love. The finish also completes this Marius Reserva. Full and long, it boasts notes of laurel, licorice, and vanilla!

Pioneer Manuel Raventos left his position as president of Codorniu in 1982 to explore something new. He wanted to create a Cava known for its softness, power, and finesse. Together with his father, Jodep Maria, he embarked on this adventure, purchasing ninety hectares of vineyards spread across forty different plots. This is crucial for achieving the right power and finesse in the Cavas. All the vineyards are mature and produce beautiful, full clusters renowned throughout Spain. The varying climates in the extensive vineyards significantly influence the Cavas' power.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The harvest of the De Nit Rose Cava\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nFor his rosé cava, Manuel Raventos uses several different plots, primarily with clay and loam soils. The red grape that gives this rosé cava its color comes from the Serral hills. These high-altitude terraces provide the perfect climate for this red grape. It's especially important that the grapes retain their fresh acidity, resulting in a ripe and dry rosé cava. All grapes are harvested by hand and subject to rigorous selection. This means that only the finest bunches are pressed and used in this rosé cava. Once all the grapes are pressed, the winemaker creates the blend, a meticulous job that demands the utmost from a winemaker. But leave that to Raventos; thanks to their years of experience, you won't notice any difference between the vintages.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e How does Cava get its bubbles?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce the blend is ready, the bottles are filled, not only with the still wine but also with sugar and yeast. The sealed bottle allows bubbles to develop on the surface. This method is also called the Méthode traditionnelle, as it's the same as for French Champagne. The total aging in the cellar lasts a full fifteen months, which is quite long for a Cava. It's a time-consuming process, but the final result is impressive! Not just any Cava, but a Grand Cru Cava—can we even call it that?\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The best rosé Cava from Raventos i Blanc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n This is also a Vintage Cava, as the vintage is clearly visible on each bottle. On the nose, this Raventos i Blanc De Nit Rose Cava has aromas of Mediterranean herbs and a hint of strawberry, beautifully powerful. A truly full-bodied young Cava, and on the palate as well, we discovered hints of red fruit, lovely acidity, a very refined mousse, a touch of toast, and a hint of citrus peel. In short, a Rose Cava for true connoisseurs!","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775921229903,"sku":"5525","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/ProductShadow_79.webp?v=1774363338"},{"product_id":"crianza-almansa-do-marius","title":"Crianza Almansa DO 'Marius'","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"\" data-end=\"490\" data-start=\"412\"\u003e Crianza Almansa DO 'Marius' – Powerful Crianza with character and suppleness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"888\" data-start=\"492\"\u003e The Marius Crianza from Bodegas Piqueras is a full-bodied, spicy red wine from Almansa.

The result is a harsh climate, resulting in coarse-textured soil with a high limestone content, which produces small bunches with good sugar concentration, excellent acidity, and thicker skins.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e One year of wood aging for the Altos de Luzon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe harvest is meticulously carried out by hand, with the fruit treated with the utmost care. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes pass through a selection table, where only the best grapes are selected for the winemaking process. The grapes are fermented and, depending on the grape variety, macerated on their skins for a good two weeks at a constant temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. Before bottling, the wine is aged for a year in French and American oak barrels.\n\n\n\n After this long wood aging, the Altos de Luzon is ready to drink. A garnet-like purple color with a powerful aroma of ripe fruit, a touch of spice, and light notes of cocoa and toasted oak. On the palate, this Altos de Luzon has a very full palate and beautifully ripe tannins on the tongue. Flavor nuances of blackberry, plum, vanilla, toasted oak, as well as spices and tobacco.
