And now that we have your attention here is a little more about it...

Old Hands 2007 Organic Monastrell comes from Bodegas la Purisima (referring to the Holy Virgin) in Yecla, Spain from a vineyard that uses no pesticides, herbicides and is farmed organically.

Our winemaker, Pedro Azorin, showcased the Monastrell grape (also called Mourvedre) without using any oak barrels but he softened its bold tannins with a malolactic fermentation.

The result – A rich an opulent wine with a deep black cherry color with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum with scents of aromatic herbs that grow in the hills of Yecla like thyme, rosemary and fennel.

It goes great with grilled meats, pasta or flavorful cheeses.

My favorite part besides drinking the wine... The winery uses pheromone traps and actively releases ladybugs in its organic vineyards to control insects. They even hid a small ladybug on its organic label. Can you see it?

If not... We will forgive you by giving it a try.  

Cheers!
