The wine
Honoro Vera Monastrell Organic is a wine that’s fruit-forward and juicy, accessible but far from ordinary. Due to its quality, it must be considered a wine which punches well above its price point, a red true to its varietal, with very pure and clean-cut aromas.
What does this wine taste like?

On the nose, attractive floral aromas come to the fore with touches of perfectly ripe fruits on a balsamic background, all these aromas being very typical of the Monastrell variety. It’s balanced and fresh on the palate, lively and flavoursome, with just the right amount of acidity and fine, rounded tannins obtained from the grape skins which provide a velvety texture.

The present-day winery, which began operating in 2002, lies on very poor soils at an altitude of about 800 metres. The climate is extreme, with strong contrasts between day and night temperatures and rain practically non-existent. The stony sand and limestone...
