Javi's "vin de village", this cuvée blends the main grapes of the place: Alicante Bouschet and Monastell.
The first comes from a 0,8 hectare vine planted in 1966 at 700 m above sea level; the second, the Monastrell, comes from a small plot on sandy and stony soils at 620 m, planted in 1985.
Production: 1,789 bottles, Surprisingly fresh for a bi-varietal from this region.

Trial analysis
Light red colour. The fruit on the nose is also red - and exuberant. There are also nice Mediterranean spices (thym and rosemary) and citrus notes in the background. Well-structured on the palate, with elegant tannins - typically Monastrell. A nice acidity, too.
