Currently being run by 4th generation Gandía family members, Vicente Gandía is a century-old certified sustainable winery in the heart of the Levante region of Spain. Producing wines from different Denominations of Origin, the Gandía family continues to create elegant expressions of wine while protecting native varieties. ‘Ceramic’ is grown on Monastrell vines that have been cultivated in dry land then aged for 11 months in French oak barrels and refined in traditional clay jars. This wine opens with notes of cloves, star anise, and ripe plums and followed with ripe red fruits and rounded acidity. Pair with beef stew, chicken marbella, and aged cheeses.
