Description
Los Frailes Dolomitas is a single-vineyard red from Casa Los Frailes, made in Fontanars dels Alforins within D.O. Valencia. It comes from the Las Dolomitas parcel at around 700 metres above sea level, on very stony, magnesium-rich soils that are so shallow the vine roots reach bedrock at roughly 60 centimetres. The blend combines Monastrell with a small proportion of Carignan, retaining the site’s Mediterranean character and freshness.
The grapes are hand harvested and fermentation takes place with native yeasts and minimal intervention. The wine matures for around a year in a combination of used 700-litre barrels, larger foudres and tanks, followed by additional time in concrete. The glass shows red and dark fruit, dried herbs, spice and earthy mineral notes. The palate is fresh and fluid, with fine tannins and a persistent finish.
