Primitivo Quiles Vermouth Rojo
Location: Spain
Winemaker: Don Primitivo Quiles
Winemkaing: Monastrell made in 80-year-old conofors (think dairy tanks but made of American oak). The base wine is macerated with fennel, sage, clove, and others to which alcohol and caramel (for color) are added. Filtered by gravity and, following tradition, made in a slighty oxidative style which gives the wine its very unique character.
From the Importer Bowler Wine: Señor Don Primitivo Quiles is one of the great figures of Spanish wine. His bodega in Monovar, established in 1780, is the oldest in Alicante, if not in all the comunidad Valenciana. They have been a family-owned winery for over 100 years and maintain of the oldest soleras on the market, dating back to 1892. Their wines are highly valued treasures in wine cellars all over Europe and a source of pride for the winemaking industry in Alicante.
The Fondillon is 100% Monastrell harvested inlate October or November then placed in a solera system that began in 1948. The Cono 4 is a joven style made in large cono foudres, and represents a great expression of the warm Alicante climate yet also very earthy and complex: it’s also one of the best deals in our book!
