Winemaker Description
Honoro Vera Organic Monastrell is an expressive red wine from the Jumilla region in Spain, produced with respect for organic farming principles. This wine is characterized by its deep, inky color and robust flavors of dark fruits, plum, and blackberries, harmoniously interlaced with nuances of spices, herbs, and a hint of chocolate.
The wine's depth is complemented by its medium to full-bodied nature, smooth tannins, and balanced acidity, making it highly approachable yet complex.
Its lingering finish further enhances the overall drinking experience.
Honoro Vera Organic Monastrell pairs excellently with red meats, rich sauces, and strong cheeses.
Memo Summary Notes
The 2023 Honoro Vera Monastrell Organic is the "little brother" to the Juan Gil Silver Label we just discussed. Also produced by the Gil Family (Bodegas Juan Gil), this is their entry-level organic powerhouse. It is famous for its striking label and its reputation as one of the best "under $10" organic reds on the market.
Honoro Vera is the ultimate "party wine" or "Tuesday night bottle." It gained massive fame a few years ago when it was served at the Oscars Governor's Ball, proving that a wine doesn't need to be expensive to be high-quality. The 2023 organic version is particularly bright and "snappy," making it dangerously easy to drink.
