Taste
Richly sweet similar to a Port style
Aroma
Soft spice and dried fruits
Description
This rich red is made from ripe Monastrell grapes that are left on the vine beyond their usual harvest date, which allows them to dry out and lose more water. The result is a concentration of remaining juice and sugar, which, when vinified to wine, produces rich and succulent deeply fruited flavours typical of the ‘Appassimento’ style. A sweet first impression is followed by a smooth Port-like concentration on the mid-palate with a full bodied mouthful of figs, plums and stewed fruits.
About the Estate
Certified organic since 1995, the Parra family’s pursuit came from the devotion of the three brothers Francisco, Javier and Luis, who founded their La Mancha property with the conviction to organically and biodynamically farm every vine under their care. The Parra family works two large vineyards in La Mancha, near the town of Las Mesas (The Tables) in central Spain, totalling 180 hectares. Delivering clean, honest wines grown in harmony with the land, Parra Jiminez wines are always good value and a natural wine lover’s hidden gem.
