DIVUS Old Vine Monastrell
From the Bleda estate's oldest Monastrell vines, which have the lowest yield of any vines in Jumilla DOC, and grow at 700 meters above sea level. Grapes are harvested towards the end of October, with a long maceration. The wine ages between 9 and 11 months in new French oak barrels, creating an enticing, powerful Jumilla of dusty tannins and blood-orange acidity, both lifting the complexities of black plum, raspberry compote, roasted herb, spice-box and ganache.
