Murcia

Murcia, located in south-eastern Spain, is an emerging wine region that offers a treasure trove of fine wines. With its warm Mediterranean climate and diverse terroir, Murcia is gaining recognition for its exceptional wines that showcase the region's unique characteristics and winemaking expertise.


One of the most famous vineyards in Murcia is Bodegas Juan Gil, a family-owned winery with a long-standing tradition of winemaking. Their wines, such as Juan Gil Monastrell and Clio, have garnered international acclaim for their rich flavours, depth, and exceptional quality.


Murcia is renowned for its red wines, with the Monastrell grape variety taking centre stage. Vineyards like Casa Castillo, Bodegas Olivares, and Bodegas Luzón produce outstanding red wines that exhibit the intense fruit flavours, robust structure, and velvety tannins characteristic of Monastrell. These wines reflect the sun-drenched terroir of Murcia and offer a unique expression of the region's winemaking prowess.


In addition to red wines, Murcia also produces notable white wines. Bodegas Piqueras, Bodegas Sierra Norte, and Bodegas Estancia Piedra are among the vineyards that create exceptional white wines using grape varieties such as Macabeo, Airén, and Moscatel. These white wines display vibrant acidity, crisp fruit flavours, and a refreshing character that make them perfect companions for warm Mediterranean evenings.


Murcia's viticultural landscape is dotted with ancient vineyards and modern wineries, each contributing to the region's growing reputation as a producer of fine wines. The combination of favorable climate, diverse soils, and a commitment to quality winemaking has propelled Murcia onto the international wine stage.

The 2018 Las Gravas is a blend of 90% Monastrell from limestone gravel soils and 10% Garnacha also planted in the same gravel soils, but it's obviously much younger than the Monastrell. It fermented in underground pools with 25% to 30% full clusters and indigenous yeasts and matured in 5,000-liter oak foudres and 500-liter oak barrels for 16 months. It's an incredibly elegant and delicate Las Gravas, nuanced and with a discrete profile, a little shy at first. The palate is also super elegant and balanced, with refined tannins, a velvety texture and very fine chalky minerality. The north-facing vineyard, the backbone of this wine in a challenging and cooler year, is now 40 years old and has vigor and balance, which has resulted in an incredible wine through a lot of work in the vineyard. This has to be the finest vintage to date, a real triumph over the adverse conditions of the year that transcends the quality of the vintage. They used a lower percentage of Garnacha to avoid too much florality in the blend, and the wine is more serious. It's less explosive than the 2017, but I'd say, more gravelly... Bravo! 34,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2020.

Unveiling the exquisite Casa Castillo Jumilla Pie Franco 2018, a Spanish marvel produced from ungrafted vines grown in pure sand soil, dates back to phylloxera. This monastrell gem exudes a beautiful fusion of concentration, purity, and balance. Its robust ruby hue hosts a complex bouquet of black and red fruits, hints of earthy minerals, clove, and black pepper.

Winemaker José María Vicente heeds respectful viticulture, influenced by his ancestry's teachings since the estate's establishment in 1870. The wine is matured in French and American oak barrels, revealing its full potential with air contact, showcasing a fresh, vibrant, yet altogether powerful palate.

Straight from the sun-bathed slopes of Jumilla, in the southeast of Spain, this Casa Castillo Jumilla Pie Franco 2018 is an extraordinary representation of its storied terroir, making it an unmissable addition for any discerning wine enthusiast.

Saturated violet. An expansive, spice-accented bouquet evokes cassis, cherry liqueur, fruitcake and potpourri; vanilla and woodsmoke nuances emerge with air. Juicy and deeply concentrated, offering palate-staining, appealingly sweet black and blue fruit preserve, violet pastille, licorice and mocha flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. The floral and mineral notes reverberate emphatically on an extremely long, spicy finish that features mounting tannins and a hint of bitter chocolate.
