Casa Los Frailes, Monastrell Rosado, Valencia, Spain 2022
{biodynamic} 100% Monastrell
CHERRY & STRAWBERRY, SPICE, RIPE & REFRESHING
Hailing from an altitude of 650 meters above sea level, this snappy yet lush rosado might come as a bit of a surprise for those accustomed to reds made from the typically dark, dense, and often downright muscular Monastrell (aka Mourvdre) grape. Los Frailes, however, is no stranger to showcasing the prettier side of the variety, and this delight is both fun and captivatingly aromatic – sublimely summery yet fit for all seasons!
Serving Suggestions: Mackerel & monkfish paella w/ chorizo. Savory fruit gazpacho. Tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and mozzarella cheese.
