The Character
Tasting Notes Gold-yellow in color with high and complex aromatic intensity with very diverse aromas of dried fruit such as apple, pear and apricot, orange peel, pastry, honey, almonds and mineral notes. The palate is fine and elegant with saline notes. Fresh and dry finish with slight acidity that leads to a long and pleasant aftertaste.
The Story
Monopole gran reserva is made with grapes from our own vineyards in Villalba, a village at the foot of the Toloño mountain in the Sierra Cantabria. This mountain range protects the vines from the north winds and here the Foehn effect plays an important role in assisting grape ripening.
The plot is called “La Plana”, meaning “flat”, but despite its name, the vineyard is planted on an east-facing slope. The vines are dry-farmed on predominantly free-draining sandy soils which cause a constant but gentle water stress in the vines. This in turn leads to low yields of loose bunches with small, concentrated berries.
