Aus verschiedenen Lagen von alten Reben in El Sequé stammen die Trauben für diesen Wein. Schwarze Früchte, balsamische Noten, Veilchen und Unterholz prägen ihn. Man spürt die Wärme der Region ohne dass der Wein fett oder alkoholisch wird. Reichhaltige Struktur und reife Frucht prägen ihn in der Jugend. Über lange Zeit in der Flasche entwickelt er sich in Richtung fleischige Aromen. Dicht, komplex und konzentriert, besitzt einen sehr eigenen Charakter, die Aromen, erinnern an Blaubeeren. Er reift wunderbar, auch über einen längeren Zeitraum.

Wine Advocate
The only wine I tasted from the winery in Alicante from Artadi was the red 2018 El Sequé, as the 2017 weather didn't allow them to produce the sweet wine. This is pure Monastrell from organically farmed vines at 600 meters in altitude on sandy and clay soils. The wine went through malolactic and aged for 12 months in 500-liter French oak barrels. It was a very difficult year with lots of rain, which decimated the yields. The wine is finer, more delicate, less Mediterranean with more fruit and quite approachable. It's certainly lighter than your average Mediterranean Monastrell, quite ethereal. It has very good freshness and very fine tannins. It has very clean and focused flavors with very good freshness. I like this vintage very much, but it was at the cost of production. In 2018, they only produced 20,000 bottles. It was bottled in July 2020.
