Bodegas Volver Tarima Hill Old Vines 2018
Tarima Hill is a complex, elegant, varietal expression of the most authentic clones of Monastrell in the world. Cherry color with a hint of intense ruby. In the nose mature fruit, raspberries, blueberries, spices, hints of balsamic and notes of flowers. Tasty in the mouth, balanced and full-bodied. Long finish.
Bodegas Volver currently owns some 185 hectares in Alicante. Some of the vines are ungrafted. New acreage is currently under development.The vines age from 40 to 75 years old. Tarima Hill's vines are planted in the Vaso system, in an all-natural (almost organic) process with no irrigation. The combination of soil profile and diverse altitudes within this very small area sets up a micro-climate that is predominately Continental along with some Mediterranean influence.

| A broad, mouthcoating red, with blackberry coulis and currant paste flavors infused with mocha, licorice and vanilla accents. Rich, but shows good harmony and grace. |
