WINE NOTES
100% Organic Monastrell, placed on the highest vineyards windswept, dry and clean under the D.O. Yecla. We are able to grow organic grapes without having to treat for mildew. We use pheromone traps to trap the moths. The vines are very old in plots with very sandy soils so we reduce the chance of root born parasites. These vines have 9 sq meters per foot which help avoid contamination for adjacent vines. All these facts attest not just to our ability to grow organic grapes but the general health and quality of our grapes so it carries over to our other products.
