and the wine was lighter

even with a lighter body

Despite the similarity in name to Gruner Veltliner

wild blackberries and blueberries and a light hint of smoke with a roasted aftertaste

Beautiful aromas of plums and filtered coffee follow through to a full body

Ver Sacrum Barrancas Monastrell, Maipu, Argentina 2019 Case (6x750ml) Le Colture and the wine was lighterThe spicy 2019 Monastrell is gaining varietal character with those faint tree bark like notes and a subtle earthiness, with dusty tannins and elegant rusticity. 2019 saw a long cycle when the grapes ripened thoroughly and achieved 13. 3% alcohol while they retained very good freshness, so they fermented with 100% full clusters. 93 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
