Vins Del Comtat – El Salze

“El Salze Monastrell” is a local wine,
100% made with Monastrell grapes from El
Salze, in the municipality of Beneixama
(Montaña Alicantina).
It is a set of extraordinary plots, with plants
from 40 to 60 years old and a very low
production per stock. The vines are planted
traditionally, in a glass, and with abundant
faults motivated by weak vigor. High altitude
(630 meters) and Mediterranean mountain
climate.
Our respect for the identity of the Monastrell
mountain has led us to winemaking with a
very mild maceration, made of stainless steel,
then aging in French oak barrels of 500 liters
and a slight light roasting.
We develop under the principle of minimal
intervention.
“Cherry color, very lively and lively, with a
medium layer. Its aromas, very intense, are
reminiscent of plums, white pepper and floral
notes. The palate is fresh, deep and very
balanced. Good balance between fruit and wood
and great persistence. ”
