\r\n 01 \u2014 Origin<\/span>\r\n

Monastrell from the territory<\/h2>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n

The harvest is done manually, selecting the grapes at their optimal point of ripeness.<\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n 02 \u2014 Production and breeding<\/span>\r\n

Fruit, structure and balance<\/h2>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n 03 \u2014 Identity<\/span>\r\n

A balanced Monastrell<\/h2>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n Pairing and service<\/span>\r\n

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 \u00b0C.<\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
