2019 SIERRA SALINAS "MO" ALICANTE MONASTRELL
2019 SIERRA SALINAS "MO" ALICANTE MONASTRELL, SPAIN. 100% Monastrell (Mouorvedre)
Aromas of fresh red fruits with hints of spices and freshly baked bread. (Winery)
90 points James Suckling: "A primary-fruited style with violet reduction and raspberries. Bright and fruity, this is reminiscent of Beaujolais and quite enjoyable. Drink now."
90 points Jeb Dennuck: "Blueberries, violets, white pepper, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2018 Mo, which is 100% Monastrell, from old vines and high elevation vineyards, brought up all in stainless steel. Juicy, medium-bodied, with good acidity, and plenty of fruit, it's another smoking value from this importer. Drink it over the coming couple of years."
About: In 2013, the Miñano and Gómez families, owners of MGWine Group, purchased Bodega Sierra Salinas.
Founded in 2000 by the Castaño family of Yecla. Since 2013, the philosophy of the Miñano and Gómez families has been to restore focus on the vineyards, by converting all of them to organic and dry farming. The temptation in such an arid climate as Alicante is to irrigate, but dry farming in this zone forces the root structures to grow deep and produces bunches with a tremendous natural balance of phenolic ripeness and healthy pH. They have also minimized the impact of new oak barrique in their wines, and at this price point, are creating a completely unique style of Monastrell from Alicante. Jorge Ordóñez Selections began to represent Bodega Sierra Salinas in the United States in July of 2018.
