Full bodied red wine beg for rich foods: meats with lots of umami like beef short ribs, pork shoulder, barbeque, lamb, rabbit, pork sausage and veal.  The spices that complement the floral character in Monastrell are regional spices found in Yecla such as lavendar, rosemary and thyme. 

Monastrell is a meaty and full bodied red wine.  The smell of Monastrell is an explosion of dark fruit, flowers like violet and herbaceous aromas of black pepper, thyme, and red meat.  In Yecla, Spain, Monastrell grape reaches its zenith.
