Detailed description

Moma dels Frares is the culmination of Bodega de los Frailes´ project. In this wine blend the Monastrell, as a reference of a traditional native variety, and the Marselan, as the exponent of an experimental variety. The perfect combination between 55 years old and 5 years old vineyards. Freshness, complexity, elegance, creaminess and depth define the character of Moma dels Frares.
