Nauta Monastrell Crianza Red Wine

The Nauta Monastrell Crianza Red Wine is an excellent choice for those looking to buy red wine with character and personality. This wine is crafted under the Alicante Denomination of Origin, and is composed 100% of Monastrell grapes, a native variety of the region that stands out for its intensity and richness in flavors.

The grapes used to produce the Nauta Monastrell Crianza Red Wine come from old vines over 40 years old, located in the Villena area, in Alicante. These vines are cultivated on dry land, where yields are low, reaching barely 2 kg per plant, which equals an average of 3,500 kg per hectare. This cultivation method, along with bush training, contributes to the exceptional quality of the wine, offering a product with great concentration of aromas and flavors.

The harvest is carried out when the grape is between maturity and over-ripeness, ensuring a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Subsequently, the wine is made using traditional methods, which include destemming and crushing of the grapes, followed by careful control of fermentation temperature, maintained between 24 and 28°C.

Maceration, a key process for extracting color, tannins and aromas, lasts approximately 15 days, during which daily tastings and analyses are performed to guarantee the best result. After malolactic fermentation, the Nauta Monastrell Crianza Red Wine undergoes an aging process of 8 months in American and French oak barrels, many of them new. This barrel aging brings spicy and woody notes to the wine, complementing its fruity character. If you are looking to buy red wine that reflects the authenticity of the Alicante region and offers a tasting experience rich in nuances, the Nauta Monastrell Crianza Red Wine is a wise choice. This wine combines the intensity of Monastrell with the elegance provided by its barrel aging, resulting in a balanced wine with great depth of flavor.
