Terraje Monastrell Red Wine

Terraje is a living history in Jumilla. Its name refers to the rent that tenant farmers used to pay with a portion of their harvest to maintain the right to cultivate these lands. A gesture that, generation after generation, has allowed for the preservation of exceptional vineyards since the 19th century. Behind this wine are the true winegrowers: those who work the land with effort and keep unique vines alive.

It comes from a selection of the best plots in the areas of Fuente de Las Perdices and La Cañada de Albatana. Organic Monastrell bush vines, 30 to 40 years old, grown on their own roots and strictly dry-farmed at an altitude of about 700 meters.

Altitude, soil, and extreme climate define its character. The altitude provides freshness and balance; dry farming concentrates; own-rooted vines maintain varietal purity. Here, the Monastrell expresses itself without makeup, with absolute respect for the terroir.

The result is a delicate and pure wine, aromatic, silky, and enveloping. More landscape than artifice. More origin than trend.

Terraje pairs well with honest cuisine and local products: grilled meats, roast lamb, traditional stews, aged cheeses, or even Mediterranean dishes with aromatic herbs. It is also surprising with high-quality preserves, where its freshness and silky texture balance the intensity of the sea.

Visual: Intense cherry red with violet hues, clean and bright.
Nose: Aromatic and profound, with ripe red and black fruit, floral notes, and a mineral and Mediterranean background.
Palate: Silky and enveloping, balanced and fresh, with fine tannins and a long finish that reflects the purity of the terroir.
