Tasting Notes

Fermented spontaneously in old concrete vats and aged for ten months in concrete and amphorae, this is a fresher and more finely detailed expression of Monastrell than its Mediterranean origins might suggest. Dark fruit meets smoky, mineral detail, with supple texture and genuine energy.

About Casa los Frailes

Casa Los Frailes is a historic estate in Valencia, owned by the Velázquez family since the eighteenth century and now run by siblings María José and Miguel Velázquez. The vineyards sit inland at altitude, where cooler nights help preserve freshness in the Mediterranean climate. Farming is organic and biodynamic, with a strong focus on native varieties such as Monastrell and Mandó. Winemaking is thoughtful and restrained, often using concrete and large oak to keep the wines clear and expressive. Casa Los Frailes combines deep family history with a progressive mindset, producing wines that feel rooted in place but confidently forward-looking.

About Valencia

Valencia sits on Spain’s eastern coast and offers a broad mix of climates and wine styles shaped by both Mediterranean heat and higher inland elevations. The region works with a wide range of native and international grapes, including Monastrell, Bobal and Garnacha for reds, alongside whites such as Merseguera and Macabeo. Coastal areas focus on freshness while inland zones bring structure and ageing potential, particularly from old vine plantings. Valencia has seen a renewed focus on quality-driven viticulture and clearer regional definition in recent years. The result is a region moving beyond volume toward more precise, characterful wines with growing confidence.
