Valencia, Spain - Monastrell with 10% each of Garnacha Tintorera, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, & Merlot
Aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and subtle hints of spice. The palate is well-structured, offering flavours of dark fruits, balanced acidity, and smooth tannins, leading to a lingering finish. This wine pairs excellently with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
Les Alcusses is named after the ancient Iberian archaeological site, La Bastida de Les Alcusses, located near the winery. The label features a lead plaque found in the ruins, believed to be a financial document, though the script remains partially undeciphered.
