Garnacha Monastrell Los Frailes

Los Frailes Monastrell-Garnacha is a fresh, characterful red from Casa Los Frailes in Valencia, made from 60% Monastrell and 40% Garnacha Tintorera. The grapes are grown in vineyards at 650–680m altitude and ‘dry-farmed’ without regular irrigation and rely on the natural rainfall stored in the soil. This traditional approach encourages the vines to root deeply and naturally limits yields, helping produce concentrated, expressive fruit. Farmed organically and biodynamically, the wine is aged for eight months in concrete and oak. Monastrell brings structure, freshness and length, while Garnacha Tintorera adds juicy fruit and a rounded feel, resulting in an expressive Mediterranean red with plenty of character
