More information on of Murcie flavors
Murcia is one of the smallest and least known regions in Spain. Nestled in the extreme Southeast of the country, it is bordered by Andalusia to the west, Castilla-La Mancha to the North, Valencia to the east and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. This small administrative region consists of a single province and an administrative centre that share the same name. As far as wine is concerned, Murcia has three designations of origin.
These are Yecla, in the northern corner, Jumilla, immediately to the south, and Bullas, whose area covers much of the western half of the province. For each DO, and for the region in general, the classic wine is a robust, Fruity red based on Monastrell. In the eastern Part of the region there are also two PGI level areas, Abanilla VT and Campo de Cartagena VT. Wines from outside these DO or VT areas, or that do not comply with DO regulations, may be classified in the Murcia VT regional area.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
