Spain > Valencia

Monastrell is one of the red grape varietals allowed within the Valencia DO, and this medium-bodied play from Bodegas La Vina displays a rich bouquet of dark fruits with notes of tobacco and spice. On the palate the wine yields plush, layered fruit with supple tannins that simply cry out for the best barbecue or braised tomato-based dishes you can get your hands on!

Grapes have been grown in Valencia since the Neolithic era, and for good reason: the region's soils and climate are well-suited to viticulture. Valencia's soils are, in general, extremely well-drained thanks to generous amounts of limestone, chalk and sand. The influence of the Mediterranean Sea accounts for warm days and very cool nights, helping to ensure ripe yet balanced flavors in the grapes, most of which are used to create value-oriented wines that are packed with personality.
