Finca Bacara Time Waits For No One 'Stone Elephant' from Jumilla, Spain, is a captivating Monastrell that truly encapsulates the spirit of its land. Crafted in the high elevated plains of Southeastern Spain, this organic wine is a testament to both environmental respect and winemaking artistry. The vineyards, situated at a remarkable 900 metres, benefit from arid conditions, dramatic temperature swings, and well-draining limestone-rich soils-all of which contribute to the wine's vibrant, concentrated character. Finca Bacara's philosophy centres on living in the moment and savouring every experience, and this wine is a reflection of that ethos: bold, original, and crafted to be cherished.
