Iylia - Monastrell - Rose

Description

Overview: IYLIA Monastrell Rosé wine comes from the Valencian region of Spain, crafted by a family-owned winery with a millennia of traditional winemaking experience.  We use the Monastrell grape variety.  Also known by its French synonym, Mourvèdre, which is a thick-skinned, red wine grape with a full body and intense, yet elegant, flavor profile.

We chose this vibrant grape variety for its stunningly refined taste.  We've captured the luscious black fruit flavors of plum, cherry, raspberry, and strawberry by controlling the temperature of our fermentation process.  In so doing, we preserve the grape's aroma, which highlights and enhances the strength and flavor of every sip.  The result is a stunningly refined flavor.

Tasting Notes: A vibrantly rich watermelon hue. Intense wild berry notes - raspberry, strawberry, blueberry. A balanced, smooth, fruity flavor profile with a long silky finish.

Pairing: Superb pairing with any entrée serves as an excellent aperitif, perfect with fish or poultry.
