Finca Collado Tinto Garnacha-Monastrell is a wine from Bodega Finca Collado, located in the Alto Vinalopó region, specifically in Salinas. This wine is a fusion of Garnacha and Monastrell varieties, cultivated in vineyards at over 600 meters altitude on poor, stony soils. This type of soil favors low yields but ensures high aromatic concentration. The climate is continental with Mediterranean influences marked by a significant thermal contrast between day and night, allowing for a slow and balanced maturation of the grapes, preserving both freshness and structure. The winemaking process focuses on maintaining varietal expression and terroir character, resulting in an intense, honest wine that pairs well with gastronomy. On tasting, Finca Collado Tinto Garnacha-Monastrell displays an intense cherry red color with violet hues. On the nose, a blend of ripe red fruit aromas, such as cherry and raspberry, is complemented by hints of plum and subtle spice and balsamic notes. On the palate, it showcases its flavor with good fruit load, rounded tannins, and balanced acidity that provides freshness and length. Its finish is persistent and harmonious, leaving a fruity reminder that invites further enjoyment. This wine is ideal for pairing with grilled meats, traditional stews, mountain rice, and aged cheeses.
