• Wines produced from the Monastrell variety display a medium to very deep colour intensity, at times approaching opacity, owing to the high temperatures of the zone.

• The Monastrell variety is well adapted to the drought, intense summer heat and spring frosts of the zone, which translates into broad, fleshy wines with good alcoholic richness and acidity.
