Tarima Monastrell is sourced from vineyards planted between 1972 and 1979, at an altitude of 600 to 750 meters. The bedrock is dry and shallow and is primarily composed of limestone; the topsoil is intermixed with pieces of pure chalk.
The combination of the soil profile and diverse altitudes in this area give this region a very unique terroir. The wine is stainless-steel, open vat fermented, with some stirring of the lees to attain the maximum expression of the variety. The wine is aged for six months in one-year-old Bordelaise and Burgundian oak barrels, which were previously used for Tarima Hill.
The wine is a medium cherry red colour with a violet rim. On the nose some intense notes of cranberries and blackberries, along with notes of sweet spices, fresh liquorice and some overtones of freshly-cut grass and aromatic herbs, typical of a varietal Monastrell.
The freshness of the fruit with the sweet notes coming from the oak ageing are nicely combined in this wine from Bodegas Volver. Nice touches of coffee, chocolate and liquorice. Good acidity and savoury tannins. Gentle, fruity finish.
