El Sequé - "El Sequé" Alicante - 2015 | Spanish Red Wine

El Sequé is a red wine from D.O. Alicante produced by Bodegas y Viñedos El Sequé. This winery belongs to the group of wineries Artadi, an important winemakig group of Rioja.

Bodegas y Viñedos El Sequé is located in the site Paraje el Sequé, in the municipality of Pinoso (Alicante). El Sequé is a monovarietal of Monastrell from old vineyards cultivated at 600 metres of altitude on quaternary sandy soils with a clayey subsurface.

It is vinified in open stainless steel deposits with cold maceration for 24-48 hours and fermentation for 10-12 days, with two daily stompings and a slight pump-over. It goes through malolactic fermentation and it is aged for 12 months in 500-litre French oak barrels.

El Sequé is a wine where the seduction of the sweetness of the ripe fruit, the silkiness of the saturated tannins and the balsamic freshness of the Mediterranean nature, roundly and seriously come together.
