El Veneno 2021 is a cult wine that embodies the purity and power of Monastrell grown under strict organic principles in the Sierra de Salinas. This monovarietal, endorsed by the prestigious scores of 95 Parker points and 94 Peñín points, represents the pinnacle of varietal expression. The grapes, sourced from high-altitude vineyards and poor soils, are vinified with utmost delicacy to extract their essence. The 12-month aging in first and second-use French oak barrels adds subtlety without overshadowing the wild character of the fruit. In the glass, it exhibits an intense garnet color with violet edges. On the nose, it is deep and complex, with aromas of concentrated black fruits, notes of black pepper, graphite, dried Mediterranean herbs, and an elegant touch of cocoa. On the palate, it is powerful and structured, with a silky texture and firm yet polished tannins. The acidity, fresh and vibrant, provides verticality and leads to a long, mineral, and spicy finish of great persistence.
