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

Monastrell with roots<\/h2>\r\n

Arbui is born from traditional Monastrell vineyards whose plantings date back to 1971. Vines cultivated in goblet style on mainly calcareous soils, with the presence of stony and clay areas, where the low natural production contributes to obtaining grapes of great concentration and expression.<\/p>\r\n

Protected by the Alicante PDO, this wine seeks to showcase the personality of a Monastrell grape deeply rooted in its terroir. The harvest is done by hand, selecting the bunches at their optimal ripeness and preserving, from the vineyard onward, the balance between fruit, freshness, and structure.<\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

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

Time, precision, and balance<\/h2>\r\n

The winemaking process relies on gravity flow, and fermentation takes place slowly at a controlled temperature using indigenous yeasts. Extraction is carried out gently to preserve the fruit's delicate flavor and the natural expression of the varietal.<\/p>\r\n

After fermentation, Arbui spends 12 months in French oak barrels. Time adds structure and complexity, but the aging is designed to complement the wine, not to mask the identity of the Monastrell grape.<\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n Tasting notes<\/span>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

View:<\/span> Deep, intense red color.<\/p>\r\n

Nose:<\/span> Clean and expressive, with black and red fruit as the main focus, accompanied by spicy, balsamic notes and delicate floral nuances.<\/p>\r\n

Mouth:<\/span> Balanced and structured, with fine tannins, good freshness, and a lingering texture. A wine with a long finish, elegant and harmonious.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

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

The character of some historic grape varieties<\/h2>\r\n

Arbui represents a way of understanding Monastrell through respect for the vineyard and for time. The age of the vines, the low yield, and precise winemaking allow for the creation of a wine with depth without sacrificing freshness or definition.<\/p>\r\n

Its name, associated with the tree, sums up that connection with the land and with a way of experiencing wine: calmly, enjoying the moment and letting time do its part.<\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

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

Ideal for red meats, game, traditional stews, meat-based rice dishes, cured meats, and aged cheeses. Its balanced flavor allows it to complement medium- to high-intensity dishes without overpowering them. It is recommended to serve it between 16 and 18 \u00b0C.<\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
