Tasting Notes: The El Molar opens with lifted aromas of red cherries, wild berries, and Mediterranean herbs, carrying a subtle balsamic edge and a touch of white pepper. On the palate it’s bright and elegant, showing juicy red fruit wrapped in fine, chalky tannins and a thread of refreshing acidity. Gentle oak influence adds hints of toast and cocoa without weighing the wine down, allowing its mineral backbone and Rhône‑like finesse to shine through in a long, balanced finish.
Notes: Fermentation with native yeasts in underground stone lagares; 14 months aging in 500L barrels and 5,000L foudres.
Food Pairing: Grilled lamb or pork, Roasted chicken with herbs, Paella or Spanish rice dishes, Charcuterie, jamón, and aged Manchego, Mushroom dishes or roasted vegetables
