Finca el Serrano is a red wine from Alicante P.D.O. made with 100% Monastrell grapes by Murviedro.

Finca el Serrano plot, Alicante Protected Designation of Origin, which is located on the east coast of Spain. Throughout the year it enjoys a warm climate and the beneficial influence of the Mediterranean. The climate is continental in the mountainous inland areas.

The soils are chalky, and therefore have a granulometry and texture particularly suitable for the extreme cultivation of vines. They are very poor soils that favour the ideal organoleptic ripening for our vineyard.

Tasting Notes

Macho Man. The result is an elegant, flirtatious, fruity, very rounded red wine, with a finish typical of great wines. A wine with a purely Mediterranean character.

Umbría Salinas. Bright cherry red colour. Very fruity nose, intense notes of black fruit (blackberries, plums) harmonised with subtle spices, hints of chocolate and nuts. Good volume in the mouth, silky but enveloping tannins, in a fresh and balanced whole with a persistent finish.

Finca el Serrano. Intense red colour with purple tones. High intensity aromas, highlighting the very ripe fruit on a background of toasted oak of great elegance. Fleshy, complex flavour, with an unctuous palate, balanced tannins and a roasted finish.
