Olavres’ Award-Winning Spanish Sweet Monstrelle Dessert Vine – Vintage ’20 Half Liter Bottle

Product Description

Discover Bodegas Olivares’ exceptional Monastrell/Mourvedre Fortified Wine from Jumilla, Spain—a richly indulgent dessert wine that redefines Mediterranean elegance. Crafted from sun-drenched Monastrell grapes grown in Spain’s renowned Jumilla region, this 2020 vintage blends bold character with surprising balance. Awarded 94 points by Wine Advocate, it offers an expressive aroma of tomato vine, black olive, and Mediterranean herbs, complemented by intense fig and date notes that showcase its deep concentration and freshness.

Unlike traditional Ports, this sweet fortified red achieves harmony through its unique unoaked aging process, matured exclusively in bottle for a pure, authentic expression of the grape. At 16% alcohol, it carries structured tannins that counterbalance its luscious sweetness—making it approachable yet complex enough for sipping or pairing. The vibrant cherry-red hue with carmine undertones mirrors its bold flavor profile: ripe dark fruits meet savory accents for a taste experience that’s both layered and refined.

Perfect for those seeking a Mediterranean dessert wine alternative, this bottle stands out as a versatile choice for after-dinner enjoyment or cheese platters. Its glacial evolution in the bottle ensures longevity while preserving vibrant acidity (230g/L), creating a seamless blend of richness and crispness. Whether you’re exploring fortified wines from Spain or searching for a Ruby Port substitute with regional flair, this Monastrell masterpiece delivers distinct quality and value.
