MURVIEDRO CEPAS VIEJAS MONASTRELL D.O.P. ALICANTE
Exclusively elaborated with varieties from the vineyards in the ‘Medio Día’ fields, where the scarce organic matter in the soil and the long sunny hours result in a petite production per vine stock, of extremely high quality tough. Under the right conditions it is a wine that should evolve remarkably during the coming years.
