the wine
Monastrell is the sun-soaked heart of southeastern Spain, all dark fruit and warmth. What sets this one apart is how it is raised, resting part of its life in traditional clay tinajas the way Valencia made wine long before oak arrived. Generous and modern, but rooted in something old, and it overdelivers for the money.
tasting notes
Intense dark red with lively edges. Ripe plum and liquorice with coconut and vanilla. Wide and robust, with sweet tannins and elegant acidity, leaving very ripe red fruit. Aged 11 months in oak and refined in traditional clay tinajas.

from Ceramic.
Ceramic takes its name from the clay tinajas that shape the wine, an old Valencian way of raising Monastrell that predates oak. The result marries southeastern Spain's sun-soaked fruit to something older and earthier.
