At Vinoselección, we believe that wines are a tale that narrates the soul of the land from which they are born, the dedication of those who cultivate them, and the evolution of a story that dates back centuries. That’s why we are fascinated by the collection Vinos del Paseante, because in it we find that essence transformed into a selection, an expression of the various Spanish designations of origin, guided by curiosity and the pursuit of authenticity.
La Trobada 2022 is one of its finest examples, as the monastrell from Alto Vinalopó is one of its most remarkable exponents, a variety deeply rooted in the southeastern Iberian Peninsula, where its adaptation to the calcareous soil and extreme climatic conditions has resulted in wines of great character and elegance. Here, the vine’s vegetative cycle is a constant dialogue with the land, with cold winters shaping the grape’s structure and dry summers concentrating its fruity essence. The winemaking process follows a meticulous approach, respecting each phase to enhance the varietal expression. The selection of organic grapes at their optimal ripeness is just the beginning of an artisanal care process: cold maceration intensifies its aromatic complexity, while prolonged fermentation with the skins adds roundness and depth. Malolactic fermentation, in turn, softens the texture on the palate, achieving a harmonious and approachable wine.
The result is La Trobada 2022, a monastrell with a sensory identity that has captivated us. In terms of pairing, this wine embodies versatility. Its aromatic richness and structure make it the perfect companion for Mediterranean cuisine, from grilled meats to rice dishes and pastas, as well as cured cheeses and traditional preparations such as salmorejo.
