Ladecan 2024 is a single-vineyard Monastrell from Alicante, classified as a “Vino de Paraje”. It reflects the unique character of its mountain terroir in the foothills of Sierra del Castellar, combining Mediterranean freshness with altitude-driven elegance and precision.

Winemaking

Crafted from dry-farmed Monastrell vineyards planted on sandy-loam soils, influenced by surrounding Mediterranean forest and cooler mountain conditions. Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal quality and then fermented in small stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, preserving purity of fruit, aromatic expression, and freshness. Vegan certified.

Tasting Notes

Bright cherry-red in colour with violet reflections and medium intensity. The nose is fresh, aromatic and expressive, unfolding layers of wild Mediterranean herbs, fresh flowers, cracked black pepper and vibrant red berry fruit such as raspberry and red cherry. Subtle balsamic and mineral notes add complexity and clearly reflect the surrounding mountain landscape.

On the palate, the wine is fresh, juicy and highly approachable, with lively acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins. Ripe red fruit flavours are balanced by a gentle spicy character and a smooth, rounded texture, giving the wine precision, balance and excellent drinkability.

The finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering hints of herbs, pepper and fresh berries. Overall, it is an elegant, balanced and highly expressive Monastrell that captures both freshness and sense of place.
