The wine region of Yecla
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.
The wine region of Murcie
Wine region of southeastern Spain on sunny high plateaus, 3 DOs fanning out: Jumilla, Yecla, Bullas. Monastrell (Mourvedre) reigns in red (~80% of the vineyard): dense and sunny with signature notes of black mulberry, candied black cherry, garrigue, leather, liquorice and a sweet spice touch, firm tannins and a warm palate — pomegranate robe, sustained alcohol, often own-rooted. Round Grenache, supple Tempranillo, peppery Syrah. Southern wines with outstanding value.
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
