Al-muvedre

2013 Alicante Monastrell

The Telmo Rodriguez Al-muvedre is a delightful expression of Monastrell from the vibrant Alicante region. This captivating red showcases a full-bodied profile, presenting a rich texture that envelopes the palate. The acidity is notably bright, providing a refreshing lift to the wine, while its fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark berries and plums that are beautifully complemented by a touch of spiciness. Tannins in this wine are well-structured, offering a firm backbone without overwhelming the fruit. As an added bonus, this wine is dry, allowing its complex flavors to shine through, making it a wonderful companion for a variety of dishes or an enjoyable solo experience.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
