GUSTAVETE EL MUDO 2020
Refurbished
GUSTAVETE EL MUDO
(SPANISH FILM - 1990) Gustavete - who is mute as the result of an explosion- is one of a trio of travelling vaudeville performers amidst the chaos of the Spanish Civil War.
The dangers and deprivation that they encounter in the republican side encourage the trio to go to Valencia/Alicante and end up in nationalist territory where they are arrested and taken as prisoners and must stage a burlesque of the Republic in exchange for their freedom, as patriotic as they are.
In these Southern parts Monastrell is the best historic representative, apt to adaption to the harsh conditions of climate and soil. DO Alicante represents 75% of its cultivation in the mayor DOs in Spain.
D.O. Alicante
LOCATION: Sierra de la Sima (Alicante).
CLIMATE: In this part of Alicante the climate is slightly cooler and the soils harder due to the “Altiplano Subbético”. The drying temperatures leave less moister in the soil; most of it comes from the humidity of the Mediterranean winds. These drying conditions result in great potential for aroma of the grapes.
VARIETIES: Monastrell 100%
SOIL TYPE: Limestone with stones, ideal for drainage and retainance. The image of the castles here reflect this soil and climate.
AGING: 5 - 6 months oak.
TASTING NOTE: A deep violet colour in the glass. In the nose this wine displays black cherries, plums and earthy minerality and full bodied but elegant palate.
Bodegas Volver
The philosophy of the winery is to return to the traditional crops and elaborations, for it produce wines in the D.O. La Mancha, D.O. Alicante and D.O. Jumilla.
Rafael Cañizares, winemaker of Bodegas Volver, fulfills a single maxim: Achieve the highest quality from growing the grape to the bottling of wines.
A process based on perseverance and work. In the daily struggle to get what you want.
