"Fuerza 2011 is a blend of mainly Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon, traditionally fermented and aged 12 months in barrels. The nose develops aromas of black cherry and a blend of sparte, Mediterranean herbs, paprika and tree bark. The palate is rather spicy, supported by fine, well-presented tannins." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker) Excellent value for money!

Rated (2015 guide) 90/100 (Outstanding wine)
About the wine:
Fuerza 2011 is a blend of mainly Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon, traditionally fermented and aged for 12 months in barrels. The nose develops aromas of black cherry and a blend of sparte, Mediterranean herbs, paprika and tree bark. The palate is rather spicy, supported by fine, well-presented tannins. This wine will stand out with fine meat dishes.
