Simple, refreshing whites with a pale robe and a tender mouth, featuring discreet aromas of apple, citrus, fresh herbs and neutral notes. Moderate acidity, best drunk young. Very productive and drought-resistant, it produces easy-drinking whites in La Mancha DO and Valdepeñas DO on the Castilian plateau, and has historically supplied the base for Brandy de Jerez distillation. Native Spanish grape, long the world's most planted by surface area.
DO of Murcia on sunny high plateaus, kingdom of Monastrell (Mourvèdre, ~80% of the vineyard, min. 60% in red). Dense solar signature reds with notes of blackberry, candied black cherry, garrigue, leather, liquorice and a hint of sweet spices, firm tannins and warm palate — historic land of the grape. Round Garnacha, supple Tempranillo, peppery Syrah, firm Cabernet.
