Casa Los Frailes - Monastrell 2022
Casa Los Frailes is a certified biodynamic and organic vineyard based in Valencia who have been certified organic since 2002, being one of Spain's first. The vines found in this altitudinous region are extremely old, some of them having been around since the 13th century. Monastrell is the mainstay grape, particularly at Casa Los Frailes where they have Monastrell vines aged up to 75 years old which produces very low yields at a very high quality. Within the cellar, traditional values continue as they use old clay amphorae and concrete tanks that were built in the 17th and 18th centuries.
This Monastrell comes from 25 year old vines which are dry farmed. It is a fleshy, lively red made from a blend of different Monastrell vines from across the Casa Los Frailes vineyards, expressing deep, bold blak fruit flavours with notes of black pepper and a certain meatiness. It has not spent any time in oak, instead fermenting and ageing in concrete vats which allow for the varietal fruit expression to take the main stage.
