Telmo Rodriguez - Al Muvedre - Monastrell 2024
The Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez project has embodied for more than twenty years a modern and respectful vision of the great Spanish terroirs. An internationally renowned oenologist, Telmo Rodríguez is committed to restoring full dignity to native grape varieties by working with local winemakers and promoting sometimes forgotten areas. His philosophy is based on simplicity, clarity, and sincere expression of the place, far from fashion trends. With Al Muvedre, he signs an emblematic cuvée of this approach, accessible and deeply identity-driven. This wine perfectly illustrates his desire to offer wines of pleasure, faithful to their origin.
Al Muvedre Monastrell 2024 is produced in the Alicante region, from the Monastrell grape variety, a historic pillar of southeastern Spain. This cuvée seeks to express the sunny character of the grape without excess, in a fresh and digestible style. The vinification favors the purity of the fruit and a measured extraction to maintain suppleness and indulgence. The 2024 vintage highlights controlled ripeness, with a balance between Mediterranean richness and natural freshness. Al Muvedre aims to be a direct and sincere interpretation of Monastrell, without artifice or heaviness.
On tasting, Al Muvedre 2024 is generous and very approachable. The nose opens with notes of ripe black fruits, plum, blackberry, accompanied by spicy and slightly Mediterranean touches. The palate is round, juicy, and supple, supported by melted tannins and great drinkability. The whole is harmonious, indulgent, and without harshness, with a fresh and fruity finish. This wine pairs perfectly with friendly cuisine, grilled meats, mildly spiced dishes, tapas, or Mediterranean cuisine. An immediately pleasurable red, sincere and expressive, signed by one of the great names of Spanish wine.
