Monarch is a red grape variety that originated from the crossing of Regent and Cabernet Sauvignon. This robust hybrid grape is known for its high resistance to diseases, making it attractive for organic viticulture. Monarch wines typically feature aromas of dark berries, such as blackberry and black currant, along with spicy notes. With its strong structure and pronounced tannins, Monarch is well-suited for aging in oak barrels and is appreciated for its depth and complexity.
