The vines for the red wine Creencia con Actitud, literally translated as "faith with attitude", grow here at around 900 meters above sea level. The 100% Monastrell reflects the character of this region and the terroir in a wonderfully authentic way. The vines are grown without artificial irrigation, which produces high-quality grapes but keeps the quantity low.

The dry red wine has an intense aroma of ripe black fruit and delicate wood notes. This is accompanied by notes of roasted almonds, toasted bread and a hint of cigar box.

Complemented by a fine minerality, the long finish brings out notes of licorice and aromatic herbs.Try Creencia con Actitud with hearty meat dishes or spicy Indian cuisine.
