The old vineyard of the red Con un Par wine

Con un Par Monastrell Petit Verdot from Vicente Gandia comes from Valencia. Valencia is a centuries-old wine region located in eastern Spain. In 1957, the area received DO status. The region where this wine is produced consists of four sub-zones with altitudes ranging from 250 to 1100 meters. It is a region with a wide variety of grape varieties, offering both young white and rosé wines with abundant freshness and beautiful aromas, as well as innovative and modern red wines. The Petit Verdot grape is often used to add color, structure, and tannin to wine. This makes it a fantastically interesting grape that, when fully ripe, adds beautiful extra dimensions to the wine. However, reaching full ripeness is also a major challenge for Petit Verdot. This unique grape is only ripened in truly warm, sunny years. In terms of flavor, the grape is spicy, full-bodied, and complex. The Monastrell grape is also used for this beautiful red wine. This grape is distinguished by its high-quality tannins, which give red wine a long lifespan.
