Esteban Martín, Monastrell 2022

Estaban Martín is a winemaker based in the Finca El Paso - a place born to express the natural synergy between the Monastrell grape (aka Mourvèdre) and the unique vineyards of Jumilla. Named after the pass that meanders through the mountains towards the Mediterranean, Finca El Sapo draws on low-yielding, old vine fruit to give a wine of concentration, charm and personality. Monastrell 2022 is taken from 20 year old bush vines planted in rocky topsoil, found at 700m above sea level. Bright, juicy and deep; the wine opens with notes of blackberry, bramble and blueberry. As it evolves in the glass, there's a more savoury-leathery note along with some spice. A cracking wine to bring to your next BBQ.
