Sentada Sobre la Bestia 2020 is a balanced coupage of monastrell, tempranillo, garnacha tintorera, graciano, and malvasía, with a distinct Mediterranean character. The small and young garage winery Fil.loxera & Cía produces this red wine from the fruits of a selection of micro-plots located in the Valencian town of Fontanars dels Alforins, worked in a traditional and minimally interventionist manner using environmentally friendly methods. The result in the glass is a young and vibrant wine, with a fragrant nose and a juicy, flavorful, and fresh palate.
Dense and bright in appearance, with a deep cherry red color and violet reflections.
Intense and straightforward on the nose, where it reveals sweet aromas of ripe red fruit complemented by floral notes and soft toasted nuances well integrated into the whole.
Vigorous and fresh on the palate, where the red fruits anticipated in the olfactory phase dominate. A flavorful red wine with soft and mature tannins that, together with the fruit, shape its marked Mediterranean character.
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.
