Bodega Sierra Norte Description
Grape varieties Monastrell 100%
Vine-growing The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards grown in a balanced, caring and sustainable way. The vineyards’ soils carry great importance, being very active with good biological conditions which favour a fast assimilation of reincorporated organic matter. This enables full terroir expression.
Tasting A cherry-red colour with a garnet rim and ruby glints. Slow-trickling fine, clean tears. A complex nose with a harmonious mingling of black fruit and sweet spices, together with vanilla notes. On swirling, red berry fruit aromas gradually come through with hints of forest floor and damp earth. Flavoursome, fresh and slightly balsamic on the palate with good body and a good presence of ripe tannins. A lingering spicy finish.
Food Pairing Excellent with charcuterie, roast meats, stews, dried rice, grilled red meats and white meats.
James Suckling: 90 Points
A wine with solid ripe-fruit character, yet a freshness and edge to it. Medium body with good acidity framing the berry and hazelnut flavors. Drink now.
Wine Spectator: 87 Points
This round red has polish and balance. Black cherry, tea and licorice flavors mingle over light tannins and fresh acidity. Juicy and lively. Drink now through 2024. — TM
