Al-Muvedre Monastrell

Telmo Rodríguez, and his business partner Pablo Eguzkia, established the Al-Muvedre project in 2001 after an enlightening trip to Alicante. Here, they discovered a treasure trove of forgotten old vines and a rich viticultural history.

The Al-Muvedre Monastrell is sourced from organic vineyards in the village of Villena, planted on chalky limestone soils between 500 and 700 meters above sea level. The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, where the wine was then aged for several months before bottling. The wine is fragrant and expressive, with notes of ripe bramble fruit, wild garrigue herbs and a spicy, soft finish.
