Tasting note
A wine that has won the hearts of many wine lovers and is always adding new ones. In combination with food, it is (almost) an all-rounder. With its subtle, supple tannins and juicy freshness, it is an elegant and versatile companion to the table. The wood finish subtly accentuates the flavor with notes of mocha, milk chocolate and gingerbread spice. Ripe, intense fruit aromas of plums and black berries dominate its taste.
Culinary recommendation
Flaschenpost team tip: Goes perfectly with polenta, pizza and lasagna. Our recommendation: The ideal drinking temperature for the red wine is a slightly chilled 16°-18°C. The wine should be enjoyed during this period: 3-6 years after harvest.
Vinification
A few words about vinification: Each grape variety is harvested by hand at its optimal degree of ripeness. Spontaneous fermentation (with grape's own yeasts) takes place in stainless steel tanks with repeated over-pumping (reassembly). The must remains on the skins for around 3 weeks to extract as many flavors and extracts as possible. For ageing, the young wine is aged in barriques (85% French oak, 15% American oak, 20% of which is new), in which it matures for 12 months. Before bottling, La Montesa is clarified with egg white and bottled unfiltered. The bottle storage lasts another year before the wine goes on sale.
