Ego Bodegas Marionette Jumilla
WHY WE LOVE IT
The short duration this wine spends in oak lets the dark fruit aromas, typical of the Monastrell grape, really come through in each sip.
Vegan certified.
Varietal Composition: Monastrell & Syrah
Elaboration: The harvest was both manual and mechanical. The fermentation and the maceration, depending on the variety, was made in contact with the skin in stainless steel tanks for 15-25 days. Throughout the entire process the temperature doesn’t exceed 24/26ºC. The wine is aged in american oak barrels for 2 – 3 months.
Tasting Notes: A beautiful cherry-red color. Clean aroma, intense potent fruit with fine toasted notes. Smooth in mouth with an elegant entry, vivid and fruity, with mature and delicious tannins.
