DESCRIPTION
Bodegas Olivares Dulce Monastrell 2020 is a powerful and balanced sweet wine, born from 100% ungrafted old Monastrell vines. Its complexity intensifies over time. Aged for 2 years in concrete tanks and in bottle. Total acidity 5.3 g/L, residual sugar 260 g/L, alcohol 16%. Bodegas Olivares was founded in 1930 by Pascual Olivares Fernandez, driven by the conviction that Monastrell could reflect the unique character of Jumilla. The estate is located in the Hoya de Santa Ana area, at the highest altitude of the appellation, benefiting from warm days and cool nights, ideal for slow ripening. Across its 275 hectares, the estate primarily cultivates Monastrell, alongside Syrah and Grenache. Winemaking is natural, featuring manual harvesting and fermentation with indigenous yeasts.
On the nose, aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, mingled with touches of sweet spices and a light note of liquorice. On the palate, a beautiful structure and great concentration, offering a velvety texture and a perfect balance between power and freshness. It pairs with a black forest gateau or a dried fig tartlet. Serve between 10 and 12°C. Aging potential of 15 to 20 years.
REGION
Murcia
Spain
The Murcia region lies in southeast Spain. Thanks to its continental and Mediterranean climate, its grapes are concentrated and sweet. There are three appellations of origin: Bullas, Jumilla and Yecla. Here Monastrell (Mourvèdre) shows at its best, a grape with low acidity but a beautiful tannic structure. Monastrell gives warm, full bodied wines with aromas of fruit, pepper and truffle. Other red grapes grown in the region include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. For whites, Macabeo and Airén, two typical Spanish grapes, are joined by Muscat, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pedro Ximénez.
