Murviedro Finca el Serrano Monastrell Alicante DOP

The grapes come from the 5 hectare Finca El Serrano plot, planted in 1980, with poor limestone soils. Here the climate is very warm, more continental in the mountainous areas inland. The Monastrell grapes are harvested at the start of October - fermented at 25ºC with their own yeasts from the skins, and with a gentle pumping over. Pressing is carried out after 30 days of maceration. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel and the wine is racked to French oak foudres to be aged for six months before bottling. Cultivation and winemaking are carried out with as little intervention as possible, trying to reflect the full potential of the terroir.

Bodegas Murviedro was founded in Valencia in 1927, as the Spanish subsidiary of the Swiss Schenk Group, and has grown to become one of the most important wineries in the region.

It has access to a wide range of both indigenous and international grape varieties, and produces a broad portfolio of wine styles. The company's philosophy is based on combining modern winemaking techniques with grapes from traditional vineyards - to meet the highest international quality standards, while maintaining their Spanish character and originality.
