- A superb example of Monastrell, with its powerful and intense nose of ripe black fruits supported by subtle hints of spice from a deft use of oak. The vibrant fruit is rounded out with a savory note and it shows great purity on the finish.
The climate is continental with long hot summers, with temperatures reaching 40C and cold winters, falling to 0C, tempered by the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea. Planted at 900 meters elevation, the warm daytime temperatures are mitigated by cooler evenings, creating a long ripening period where the fruit develops concentrated flavors balanced by refreshing acidity. The area is arid with low rainfall, most of which falls during spring and autumn; often during violent storms. The soils are dark, lime-bearing and some have a hard lime crust; overall, they are permeable and have good moisture-retaining properties, which allows the vines to survive during prolonged periods of drought. They are poor in organic matter and their structure does not support phylloxera due to the sand content. The vines are cultivated without the use of synthetic products and are manually harvested.
Finca Bacara is based in DO Jumilla in Southeastern Spain, a region characterized by its high-elevation plains and valleys. Finca Baraca follows a philosophy that wines are inextricably linked to the land and are therefore committed to developing them with minimal impact on the environment. The vineyards are farmed organically, and they hold the ISO14001 Environmental certification. The vines are planted at 900 meters elevation and produce vibrant, fresh fruit. Winemaker Luis Javier Perez has crafted an original series based on the philosophy that ‘Time Waits for No-One’ encourages us to live every moment - time cannot be recovered. The idiosyncratically packaged wines are fruit-driven, highly original, and like time, they are to be enjoyed and cherished.
