Bodegas Monovar Fondillon 1959
500 ml Mourvèdre Other Spain, Spain 1959
Bodegas Monovar Fondillon 1959 is a luscious, very full-bodied red from Mourvèdre (Alicante, Spain), in the sweet and dessert wines style. Tannins are very firm and acidity fresh; oak influence is some. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 67-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with lamb, venison, beef stew, fruit dessert.

Merchant's description
Fondillón is a unique sweet wine, made in Alicante from over-ripe Monastrell grapes whose wine is matured in an oxidative way, like an oloroso sherry. Expect a complex bouquet of roasted walnuts, maple syrup, liquorice and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, the sweetness is offset by bright acidity, giving a sense of real freshness. A one-of-a-kind treat.
