Monastrell/Garnacha, El Enhebro 2022

El Enhebro is a play on words in Spanish: “enebro” is juniper, a bush which grows in abundance around the vineyards, and the verb “enhebrar” meaning to thread, symbolising the fusion of the terroir of the Vall dels Alforins, a privileged zone of Valencia at over 600m of altitude, with precious native varieties and cultural heritage passed down by generations of winemakers. This red is made from two indigenous varieties, Monastrell and Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet). This is deep in colour and flavour, thanks to the intensity of Garnacha Tintorera, but with bright floral notes and ripe red fruits – cherries and raspberries – from Monastrell which thrives in this part of Valencia
