Familia Pacheco Monastrell Organic 2022 DOP Jumilla
Background
We have been making this wine during many years. First vintage was in 2005. It is a fruit-driven, easy-drinking and medium-bodied wine made with the Monastrell variety. Our main objective is to have a versatile and an attractive organic wine at good price point.
Goblet-trained bush vines planted in dry, non-irrigated, chalky soils. The age of the vines varies between 15 and 40 years old. Manually harvested. The vines are certified organic and are planted at altitudes of 380-730 metres, in low-density (2,70 x 2,70 m). This wine is made from grapes grown in plots from different sub-zones of D.O.P. Jumilla: Término de Arriba, La Raja, and Las Encebras.
Winemaking process
Fermented in stainless-steel vats at controlled temperatures of 25 °C using natural yeast.
Tasting note
Medium, ruby in colour. Clean and expressive, notes of red berries, spices and chalk. A easy-drinking, fruit driven, well-balanced wine. Good example of an unoaked Monastrell.
