Full-bodied, warm and dry, the vibrant fruit rounded out by a savoury note and finishing with real purity — 100% Monastrell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinca Bacara farms organically at 900 metres on the high plains of DO Jumilla in south-east Spain and holds ISO 14001 environmental certification. The vines sit on lime-rich, moisture-retaining soils whose sandy structure keeps phylloxera at bay; summers reach 40°C but cool nights keep the fruit fresh, and the grapes are picked by hand. Irene Gómez fermented the best plots on their skins in stainless steel for 15 to 25 days at no more than 28°C, then aged the wine for six months in new American oak. Stone Elephant is part of the Time Waits For No One series, a reminder to enjoy the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade for grilled steak, slow-cooked lamb, barbecue and rich, meaty stews; it also stands up to aged cheeses. Drink now or over the next three to five years. Decant for 30 to 60 minutes and serve at 16–18°C. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Finca Bacara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58464555106687,"sku":"HNW-5122124A","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/HNW-5122124A.png?v=1789767241","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2024-monastrell-stone-elephant-time-waits-for-no-one-finca-bacara","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
