Click here for the wine technique
  • Monastrell 'La Hormiga Roja'. A beautiful deep and lively purple wine. With hints of basil and a touch of violets under the deep flavors of ripe black fruits such as blackcurrants, plums and cherries.
    The wine is made in a traditional way, after picking follows a short maturation with skin contact, after which fermentation and malolactic fermentation follows in large wooden vats. Made from 100% Monastrell .
    The red grape variety Monastrell , better known in France as Mourvèdre , is the most important grape of Spain after Garnacha.

    Story behind the label:
    'La Hormiga Roja' translated from Spanish means 'the red ant', also called the 'fire ant'. The fire ant used to plague the vineyards; for Alceno it symbolizes new strength and the ' spicy character ' of the wine.
  • Red wine - Ripe, spicy and intense. A light touch of wood to make the tannins soft and round, nice soft mouthfeel with persistent length.
  • Our sommeliers recommend:

    Combines well with slow-cooked meat and stews with cooked vegetables, spicy spareribs and BBQ dishes, roasted and candied red poultry (e.g. duck) with a creamy sauce and lightly grilled and fried red meat (bavette, entrecote) with a creamy sauce and spicy notes. Also with lamb back, fillet, saddle and leg, fried or grilled Iberian pork with a creamy sauce and mature flavours and accessible hard old cheeses with compote .
