Terroirs of Spain, Jumilla Monastrell, 2015
Monastrell (a.k.a. Mourvèdre) is often known for its rugged, rustic charm—especially in Spain’s sunbaked Jumilla. But give it time in bottle, and that rustic edge mellows into something deeper and more nuanced. That’s exactly what makes this bottle from Terroirs of Spain such a gem: harvested in 2015 and aged to perfection, it delivers a mature expression of Monastrell that’s rarely seen at this price point.
There’s still plenty of sun-warmed fruit—plum, blackberry, even a touch of fig—but now it’s wrapped in leathery, earthy complexity and just a whisper of smoke. The tannins have softened into a suede-like texture, and the acidity keeps it all lively.
This is a wine for lovers of old-school Rioja or Southern Rhône reds, but with its own distinctly Mediterranean soul. A perfect companion to grilled lamb, chorizo, or even a weeknight roast chicken—it brings the depth of a cellar-aged red without the sticker shock.
