Monastrell from the territory
Bilaire is made exclusively from Monastrell grapes from 30-year-old vineyards, cultivated in goblet and trellis systems on mainly calcareous soils, with the presence of stone in certain areas.
The combination of different cultivation methods and soil conditions allows for the creation of a balanced and concentrated wine, while maintaining the characteristic expression of the variety. Protected by the Alicante PDO, Bilaire represents a precise and gastronomic interpretation of Monastrell.
The harvest is done manually, selecting the grapes at their optimal point of ripeness.
Fruit, structure and balance
After a brief cold pre-maceration, fermentation proceeds slowly with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature. Extraction is carried out gently, aiming to preserve the finesse, fruitiness, and elegance of the Monastrell grape.
After fermentation, Bilaire spends 7 months in 500-liter French oak barrels. This aging period is sufficient to provide structure and complexity, keeping the oak integrated and the fruit as the central element of the wine.
View: Intense and bright red.
Nose: Red and black fruit, accompanied by delicate spicy notes and subtle balsamic nuances.
Mouth: Fresh, balanced, and enveloping, with soft tannins, good tension, and a pleasant texture. The finish is clean, elegant, and persistent.
A balanced Monastrell
Bilaire seeks to showcase the variety from a balanced perspective: concentration without excess, aging without the prominence of the wood, and a fruity expression that maintains freshness and definition.
The combination of vineyards with different cultivation methods, manual selection and a slow production process allows us to create a wine that is true to the personality of Monastrell and its Alicante origin.
Ideal for grilled meats, cured meats, rice dishes, traditional stews, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses. Its balanced character makes it a particularly versatile table wine. It is recommended to serve it between 16 and 18 °C.
