Review

The sweet red Monastrell 2016 Recóndita Armonía is a lighter, younger and fresher wine than a Fondillón, quite fruit driven. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in oak barrels for one and a half years. There are aromas of tomato juice and black olives, violets and blackberries, quite varietal. The palate doesn't feel that sweet; it feels nicely balanced, juicy and tasty. It was bottled with 15% alcohol and 165 grams of sugar. It's a young, sweet Mediterranean red that is easy to drink. 1,641 bottles were filled in July 2017. - Luis Guitérez - Parker 91/100 

Recóndita Armonía is their dulce (sweet) red bottling of Monastrell, where the grapes are harvested late, destemmed and crushed, and fermented in open barrels. The wine is then pressed into barrels and aged for 3 years. This is a classic Spanish dessert red, with red & black fruit balanced by beautiful acidity.
