The wine region of Alicante
DOP of the southeast of Valencia, land of Monastrell (Mourvedre) under Mediterranean sun. Dense, sun-soaked reds with signature notes of blackberry, candied plum, garrigue, leather, cocoa and sweet spices, firm tannins and a warm palate. A mythical jewel: Fondillon, a naturally sweet wine from Monastrell raisined on the vine, solera-aged >=8 years, 16-18% alcohol, only ~10 cellars (Vinalopo). Also Muscat of Alexandria as a floral sweet wine (orange blossom, honey).
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: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
