Red Wine
Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans
A traditional blend of Monastrell and Syrah grapes creates a round and velvety wine with intense aromas of juicy forest fruits, ripe plum and a hint of vanilla. Ageing in American oak barrels results in smooth, supple tannins and a touch of spice.

History: Carta Roja is a range that evokes the flavours and aromas of Spain, showcasing the country's potential to produce well-structured, food friendly wines of tremendous value.
Regional information: The wine is made from grapes in the rugged valleys of DO Jumilla in southern Spain, where the warm, dry climate is ideal for viticulture. Low-yielding old bush-vines with roots deep in the baked limestone soil, create an intense wine, with smooth tannins and ripe berry notes.
Vinification: The grapes are hand picked and transported to the winery as soon as possible, before being crushed. Fermentation occurs at moderate temperatures between 24-25°C for 15 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel, where the wine will spend a short time in contact with the light lees, with minimal oxygen contact and racking. The wine is then lightly fined and filtered before bottling.
