Notes | |||
"Monastrell from organic vineyards. This wine was produced under organic regulations established in the European Union as well as in the U.S. NOP certification. The vines are planted on chalky soils without irrigation and very low yields, with an annual rainfall below 12 inches. There is no room for chemical products or synthetic pesticides in our daily work. Honoro Vera exhibits great aromatic complexity, richness, and length, over-delivering in a big way. Drink over the next 4 years." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The certified-organic 2020 Honoro Vera Organic was produced with Monastrell that fermented in open-top stainless steel vats with selected indigenous yeasts and was bottled unoaked. It's quite similar to the regular Monastrell with 14.5% alcohol and a fruit-driven and juicy personality. It has notes of ripe black fruit and aromatic herbs, juicy, hedonistic and tasty, and it's a very good value and apt for the table. Balanced and harmonious, perhaps a little more concentrated than the regular Honoro Vera Monastrell. A bargain. 216,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2021." —Wine Advocate |
