Alaja Monastrell-Syrah 2023

Alaja Monastrell-Syrah, hailing from Jumilla, embodies the essence of Spanish winemaking tradition. This 2021 vintage is a harmonious blend of Monastrell and Syrah grapes, crafted with meticulous care and expertise. In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby hue, inviting the senses to explore its complex aromas. On the nose, ripe blackberries and plums mingle with hints of spice and floral notes, creating an enticing bouquet. The palate is treated to a symphony of flavors, with luscious dark fruit flavors of black cherries and blueberries, complemented by subtle nuances of pepper and oak. With its velvety texture and well-integrated tannins, this wine offers a smooth and elegant mouthfeel, culminating in a lingering finish.
