Terraje Monastrell Red Wine

Terraje is a living history in Jumilla. Its name refers to the rent that settlers paid with a portion of their harvest to maintain the right to cultivate these lands. A gesture that, generation after generation, has allowed exceptional vineyards to be preserved since the 19th century. Behind this wine are the true viticulturists: 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. Bush-trained organic Monastrell vineyards, 30 to 40 years old, grown on ungrafted rootstock 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; ungrafted rootstock maintains varietal purity. Here, Monastrell expresses itself without embellishment, 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 fashion.
Terraje pairs well with honest cuisine and quality produce: grilled meats, roasted lamb, traditional stews, cured cheeses, or even Mediterranean dishes with aromatic herbs. It also surprises with high-quality preserves, where its freshness and silky texture balance the intensity of the sea.

Visual: Deep cherry red with violet reflections, clean and bright.
Nose: Aromatic and profound, with ripe red and black fruit, floral notes and a mineral, Mediterranean background.
