A value-priced Monastrell, fragrant with ripe dark cherries and spicy on the nose. Full-bodied with ripe dark plum, blackberry flavours, elegant and juicy on the palate. Pair with a pork tenderloin Wellington.

Monastrell food pairings: veal, pizza, rare steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Alceño 12 Meses 2016 is a medium-plus-bodied red made produced from 100% Monastrell wine grapes. Fragrant with ripe dark cherries and spicy on the nose. A happy red with simple dark berry, dark plum, savoury spice and dried herb flavours. Tannins are firm. Decant one hour prior to pouring with a mixed grill. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
