Bodegas Monovar Fondillon, 50cl 1959 50cl

From Bodegas Monovar, this 1959 Fondillon is a distinctive aged wine made from Monastrell and matured for 20 years in large Canadian oak casks. Bottled in 50cl, it offers a rare style shaped by over-ripened grapes, indigenous yeast fermentation and a long, slow evolution in cask.

Transparent amber in the glass, it combines slight sweetness with bright acidity and a mellow, rounded character. The profile is complex and intense, with savoury and spiced notes that make it particularly compelling for slow sipping.
