Spain is not just Rioja and Tempranillo but also Monastrell and Alicante! Haven’t you tasted any of them yet?
Then it's time for Telmo Rodriguez's Al Muvedre to enter your life.
The terrific child of Spain, the offspring of the family who is behind the emblematic Bodegas Remelluri, Telmo Rodriguez is responsible for this super value for money wine. He begun scouting Spain in the late 1990s to find the oldest vineyards in the most undercover places, so he now deserves the title of "terroirist." He has managed to bring out Spanish wine as very few did, by creating wines with an emphasis on the land and terroir, underlining the character of each variety.
Al Muvedre is 100% Monastrell which ferments with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and cement tanks. After fermenting, it stays and matures on its lees for 6-8 months. The result is a burst of fruit!
