Gran Mas is made primarily from the Monastrell grape, also known as Mourvèdre, which thrives in the warm, arid climate of Almansa. This grape variety brings a unique character to the wine, offering a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas.
Upon the first swirl, you'll be greeted by enticing aromas of ripe dark fruit, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with subtle hints of spice and earthy notes. The palate is treated to a symphony of flavors, where the fruitiness is balanced by a pleasant acidity and well-integrated tannins. The oak aging adds a touch of vanilla and toast, enhancing the overall complexity of the wine.
This Reserva Seleccion is a dry wine with a medium to full body, making it a versatile companion for a variety of dishes. Its robust character pairs beautifully with grilled meats, such as lamb or beef, as well as hearty stews and roasted vegetables. For cheese lovers, it complements aged cheddar or Manchego perfectly.
Imagine savoring a glass of Gran Mas alongside a succulent grilled lamb chop, seasoned with rosemary and garlic, or enjoying it with a comforting plate of lentil stew on a chilly evening. This wine is an invitation to experience the warmth and authenticity of Spanish cuisine.
With an alcohol percentage of 14.5%, Gran Mas should be served at a temperature of around 16°C to fully appreciate its flavors and aromas.
