Introduction:
Tarima Hill is a 100% Monastrell wine from the D.O. Alicante in Spain, crafted from grapes grown in an area marked by extreme drought and a unique microclimate. The vines, planted between 1935 and 1970, thrive in shallow, dry soils rich in limestone rocks, with humidity brought by the Mediterranean breezes. This wine embodies the region’s characteristic intensity and complexity, a true expression of the unique terroir.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: Cherry-colored with a hint of intense ruby.
- Nose: Aromas of mature fruit, including raspberries and blueberries, complemented by spices, balsamic notes, and floral hints.
- Palate: Balanced and full-bodied, with a long finish that reflects the rich flavors of the nose.
Pairing Suggestions:
- Grilled meats: Pairs excellently with grilled steaks or roasted lamb.
- Cheese: Ideal with aged cheeses like Manchego or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
- Paella: Enjoy alongside a traditional seafood or meat paella for a truly Spanish experience.
