This long beauty sleep helps to give El Seque gentle toasty notes which mingle harmoniously with the succulent red plum, blueberry and cherry aromas. On the palate the concentrated fruit flavours and full body are carefully balanced by freshness, fine tannins and characterful hints of sweet spice. Try pairing this bottle with a hearty beef stew, roasted pork shoulder or smoky barbecued red meats to match the intense flavours and power of the Monastrell.
