Bodegas Volver Old Vine Monastrell "Tarima Hill" 2020 (Alicante, Spain) - [WS 91] [WE 91] [JS 90]

About the Winery:Tarima Hill is a project of Bodegas Volver, was founded in 2004 as a joint effort between importer Jorge Ordonez and oenoligist Rafael Canizares. (Jorge Ordonez is literally the guy who single-handedly re-introduced Spanish wines to America around 1987. As one of the most influential people in the Spanish wine world, any of his selections are sure to please!) Canizares recently bought out Ordonez and now owns 100% of the project. He makes use of the talents of Aussie superstar winemaker Chris Ringland, who has produced four 100-point wines, as well as two 99-pointers. The winery is located in Alicante near the largest marble quarry in the world!Winemaking:Made from 100% old vine Monastrell (Mourvedre).

Malolactic fermentation in barrels followed by 14 months in French barrels.Tasting Notes:Cherry color
