Additional Information

The second vintage of the recovered traditional white, the 2015 Monopole Cl?sico is Viura with a good dollop of Manzanilla Sherry from Sanl?car that adds biological notes and hints of nuts and spices. 2015 is the best vintage in recent years, with good quality and quantity, quite homogeneous wines from an early harvest. This wine matured in well-seasoned, neutral 300-, 400- and 500-liter oak barrels for eight months and was then blended with the Manzanilla. This is the way Monopole was always produced decades ago. CVNE’s classical winemaker, Ezequiel Garc?a “El Brujo,” died in August 2017, and they added a black band on a corner of the label as an homage to him. It’s quite lean and at first you don’t notice the biological aromas much; in wines like this that character tends to grow with time in bottle, and it does appear with time in the glass as the wine breathes. It’s subtle and with some sharpness and chalky sensations on the palate, very tasty and long.

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow color with slight golden tonalities. On the nose, this wine is complex, offering fruit notes such a pear, apple, white currant and white flowers -- along with some spice. On the palate, salinity and elegant acidity provide freshness.
