Product Description
"This project started as a tribute to Tempranillo by winemaker
Joaquin Galvez and Aurelio. With Tempranillo forming the backbone of
Spain’s most famous wines, the La Viña Cooperative in Valencia planted
Tempranillo widely with the goal of reproducing some of the qualities of
those famous wines. This project would not be possible without the
wealth of vineyards and range of altitudes the coop has planted.
Contrary to popular opinion that Valencia is too warm for Tempranillo,
the cooperative has planted the varietal at a range of altitudes from
300 to nearly 900 meters above sea level, at these high altitudes, the
Tempranillo ripens slowly developing a tremendous aromatic potential.
The lower altitude vines take advantage of cooling sea breezes and the
higher altitude vines cooler night to maintain and develop those
aromatic qualities. The reason Cabernet Sauvignon is blended into the
wine is to allow for a stylistic continuity vintage to vintage. " - Winery Notes

El Molet 2009 Reviews
"Sweet blackberry aromas come with fl oral edgings, and the whole is impressive. Full-bodied and balanced, with healthy, ripe black cherry and dark plum flavors. Finishes spicy, with a note of bitter espresso. 90% Tempranillo with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. One of the best wines from Valencia."- 90, Wine EnthusiastEl Molet 2009 Tasting Notes
Inky ruby. Floral aromas of blackberry, tobacco, licorice and dark chocolate. Suave on entry, then firmer in the middle, with an edge of acidity to the dark berry, bitter cherry and mocha flavors. Slightly dry tannins add grip to the spicy, focused finish.Blend: 85% Tempranillo, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
