Olivares Monastrell Dulce 1996

Blend.- 100% Monastrell

Harvest & Elaboration.- We allow the oldest vines of the estate to retain their fruit late into the autumn each year. Once the grapes begin to raisin, they can reach astonishing levels of richness. When everything works perfectly, perhaps 5-6 years per decade, we are able to make our signature dessert wine.

Partial fermentation, more than 30 days of maceration with skins.

Tasting note.- This Dulce is the ultimate expression of Monastrell, with tremendous concentration, persistence and balance.

Cherry-red color, with carmine and maroon tones. Complex smelling, the aroma of figs, dates and ripe fruits can be smelled with intensity and freshness.

Food pairing.- It combines perfectly with all kind of desserts, specially those made with chocolate, and for contrast, with blue and aged cheeses.
