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: Cinsault
Cinsault is a southern black grape variety that can be found in the blends of most Mediterranean appellations, but most often as an accessory grape variety. It is undoubtedly most present in certain rosé wines (in Corbières, Côtes-de-Provence, etc.): it gives these wines highly appreciated aromas of strawberry, peach and raspberry. In vin de pays (IGP), it is often vinified on its own, usually as a rosé.
