4 Monos 'GR-10' Tinto 2023

Profile & Story

4 Monos Viticultores began in 2010 when four friends - Javier Garcia, Laura Robles, David Velasco, and David Moreno - started farming the Sierra de Gredos mountains west of Madrid, working 5 hectares of their own plus 5 more with local growers around San Martin de Valdeiglesias, Cadalso de los Vidrios, and Cenicientos. ‘GR-10’ (named for the hiking trail where the group met) is their village-level red, about 90% Garnacha with a little Carinena and Syrah, from organically farmed vines up to 100 years old on sandy granitic soils at 700-830m. Grapes are largely whole-cluster fermented in steel and concrete, then pressed into old French oak to rest.
