Description
Rich, bold, and full of Mediterranean character, Xenysel Organic Monastrell is a beautifully expressive red wine made from 100% Monastrell (Mourvèdre). Deep ruby-purple in colour, it showcases intense aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and wild herbs, with hints of spice, black pepper, and earthy minerality. The palate is full-bodied and structured, offering layers of dark fruit, liquorice, and smoky undertones, balanced by fine tannins and a lingering, velvety finish. A pure, organic expression of this robust Spanish varietal, perfect for lovers of rich, sun-drenched reds.
History and Winemaking
Hailing from Jumilla, Spain, one of the best regions for Monastrell, Xenysel is committed to producing organic wines that reflect the region’s arid climate and limestone-rich soils. The Monastrell vines, some of which are over 40 years old, are grown at high altitudes using dry-farming methods, ensuring low yields and exceptional concentration of flavour. Fermented with natural yeasts and made with minimal intervention, this wine is a pure and authentic representation of the Monastrell grape.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of blackberries, ripe plums, and wild Mediterranean herbs, with touches of black pepper, liquorice, and earth. The palate is full-bodied and robust, featuring dark fruit, savoury spice, and well-integrated tannins, leading to a long, complex finish.
Pairings
This bold and structured Monastrell pairs wonderfully with grilled lamb, barbecued meats, or hearty Spanish stews. Its rich fruit and spice also complement aged Manchego, chorizo, or roasted game dishes. A fantastic wine to enjoy with smoky, flavourful cuisine.
