The wine region of Jumilla
Arid south-east Spain, kingdom of Monastrell (Mourvèdre, >85% of vineyards). Powerful, sunny reds with signature notes of candied blackberry, black plum, garrigue, pepper, leather and liquorice, firm tannins and a warm palate — a world reference for the grape. Many ungrafted old vines (phylloxera spared the limestone soils). Also supple Tempranillo, peppery Syrah, round Garnacha.
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: Oxidation
Alteration of the wine caused by prolonged contact with oxygen and resulting in a coppery colour with brown reflections and the appearance of typical aromas reminiscent of rancid nuts.
