General Information

Mujer Caballo Azul 2020 is a fantastic 100% moristel red wine under the D.O. Valencia and rated with 93 points by the guru Robert Parker in its previous 2019 edition. Its magnificent quality is supported both by its terroir of origin and the work in the vineyard: stony, sandy-loam, and fresh soils, cultivated by the winery Fil.Loxera y Cia in the Sierra de l’Ombria (Alicante), following an environmentally respectful philosophy and with minimal intervention work, are the basis of this magnificent single-varietal.

For the production of Mujer Caballo Azul 2020, the grapes were hand-harvested along with partial destemming and gentle crushing. Once in the winery, the must was fermented in a 750-liter vat, and the resulting wine remained for 8 months in used oak barrels for its refinement.

This magnificent Valencian red, fresh, appetizing, mineral, and Mediterranean, will be the ideal companion for all kinds of appetizers, salads, and pasta dishes.

Tasting notes

Cherry red color, with medium layer, glyceric and bright.

Fresh and deep nose where aromas of flower petals and red fruits appear, along with very soft creamy and toasted notes.

On the palate, it is fresh and light. Soft and integrated tannin, but mature. It is a fresh, appetizing, and easy-to-drink wine, with a deep, spicy, and mineral finish.

The winery

Founded in 2011 in Fontanars dels Alforins (Valencia), Fil.loxera & Cía is a small winery born from the partnership of José Ramón Domenech, Pilar Esteve, and Joan B. Llobell, three friends with more than a decade of experience in the world of viticulture.

From their micro-plots located in the Clariano subzone of the D.O. Valencia, planted with monastrell, tempranillo, garnacha tintorera, and other native varieties in recovery such as arco, ull de perdiu, or valensí, come authentic garage wines with a distinctive personality, character, and absolutely original names, such as El Cordero y las Vírgenes or Beberás de la Copa de tu Hermana, inspired by the Bible, as it is one of the books with the most references to wine in history.
