This wine is from Alicante on the Mediterranean coast is primarily Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and is made by the top Rioja firm of Artadi. The result is a stylish and supple wine, made for enjoying now but one which gives structure, a lovely violet and rich fruit character and a very silky and smooth finish. Great value.

VINEYARD
Alicante is on the Mediterranean coast of southern Spain, but the El Sequé vineyards are as far from the sea as can be found in Alicante at about 700m, it has a cool micro-climate.

The Monastrell vines are 40 years old, and it is here that Monastrell (Mourvèdre) is the grape he believes is best suited to quality wines in this region. Alicante, though famous now for its mass-market tourism, is in fact a wine region with a long history.

Artadi acquired this property in 1999, consisting of 40 hectares planted on brown limestone soils. 80% of the vineyard is currently planted to Monastrell.

GRAPE VARIETIES
Monastrell, with a small amount of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.

VINIFICATION
This is made from younger vines that Artadi has planted, and it spends a few months in older barrels, with a "second wine" philosophy of allowing fruit selection for the El Sequé first wine.

TASTING NOTES
Very dark crimson/black colour with a hint of violet, with a very pure schist and raspberry fruit character. Good dark, raisiny concentration of fruit, and onto the palate this is stylish and supple, with rich, jammy fruit, but also a bit of chocolate and plum coming through in a very silky, suede-like finish.

CLOSURE: Cork

ALCOHOL: 13.5% (10.1 units of alcohol)
