Los Frailes Dolomitas 2017

The pure Monastrell 2017 Dolomitas is from vines planted 30 years ago on soils that have the highest percentage of limestone of their vineyards, which are dry-farmed and head-pruned. It fermented in the old concrete vats that were already used in the 17th century and matured in concrete and clay amphorae, replicating the wines from yesteryear. This feels quite subtle and a little austere, and it's serious, quite varietal and elegant, with freshness. This is the finest and most elegant of the soil bottlings. 12,345 bottles were filled in November 2018. - Luis Gutiérrez.
