Montsecano 2020

$19.990

Montsecano is a perfumed and fruity wine, smooth
as silk but powerful as a rock. It speaks of its origin
in LAS DICHAS, a single vineyard located 10
kilometers from the Pacific Ocean and likely the
coldest place in Casablanca. Its grapes benefit from
the coastal winds, and the salty fogs from the
Pacific refresh the mornings during its long
summer. This slow ripening process contributes to
complexity and good acidity.

The Vineyard: Planted since 2006, Montsecano’s
vineyard was born under organic viticulture. The soils,
worked with horses, have not been compacted by heavy
machinery. Cultivated on slopes, the vines only receive
compost, biodynamic preparations, and a small amount
of sulfur to prevent disease. Clones 777, 115, and
Massal selection coexist.

Winemaking Process: The grapes are hand-harvested in
small boxes and brought to the cellar, where they await
the coolness of the night to be awakened and then enter
the ovoid concrete tanks at a low temperature
(approximately 13°C). Fermentation is slow, and thanks
to the native yeasts, the musts retain and enhance the
micro-terroir characteristics that are so distinctive of
Montsecano wine, which has developed its identity over
time.
Tasting Notes: Montsecano displays a medium
concentration with a vivid garnet color and ruby tones at
the edges. On the nose, the wine exhibits great aromatic
complexity and multiple layers, revealing attractive scents
of roses, ripe strawberries, cherries, some earthy notes,
and even a hint of cranberry. On the palate, the wine has
a smooth attack that conceals a tremendous structure
and gives way to juicy red fruits such as strawberries and
cherries, along with floral and native tree notes. The finish
expresses a pleasant and long-lasting mineral character
on the palate. It is a delicious and highly complex wine
that, nevertheless, is easy to drink.
