Machoman Monastrell Tierra de Murcia IGP - Casa Rojo

The Casa Rojo Machoman Monastrell is a first-class red wine. It offers a wonderfully dense, purple-red color. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which can be seen in the strong stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from the Old World presents wonderfully expressive aromas of blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant and mulberry, rounded off with dark chocolate, garrigue and black tea contributed by barrel ageing.

This dry red wine from Casa Rojo is perfect for purists who like it absolutely dry. The Machoman Monastrell comes very close to this, as it was vinified with just 3.2 grams of residual sugar. The texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully crisp on the palate. The fruit acidity of the Machoman Monastrell is remarkably mild, making this wine wonderfully smooth. The finish of this well-matured red wine from the Murcia wine-growing region, more precisely from the Jumilla DO, impresses with a beautiful aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the clay and limestone-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Casa Rojo Machoman Monastrell

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Monastrell. Only first-class grapes were brought in for this wonderfully powerful single-varietal wine from Casa Rojo. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Murcia. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of clay, sand, limestone, slate and gravel. The Machoman Monastrell is an Old World wine through and through, as this Spanish wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. Once fermentation is complete, the Machoman Monastrell is aged for a further 5 months in French oak barrels.
