The wine region of Bullas
Spanish DO northwest of Murcia between Sierra de Espuña and Sierra del Carche, 500-1000 m altitude vineyards on calcareous soils, continental Mediterranean climate with cool nights. Monastrell red king (~90%, old ungrafted vines): more elegant and fresher altitude version than Jumilla — black cherry, blackberry, plum, scrubland herbs, pepper, firm tannins and brilliant fruit. Tempranillo, Syrah, Cabernet complementary. Macabeo and Airén in crisp whites.
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: 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.
