Tarima

2012 Alicante Monastrell

Bodegas Volver S.L. Tarima is a splendid example of Alicante's rich winemaking heritage, showcasing the unique character of the Monastrell varietal. This red wine presents an enticing deep ruby hue, hinting at the intense flavors within. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience marked by well-integrated tannins that provide a firm structure, while its bright acidity elevates and enlivens each sip. The fruit intensity is notably prominent, with luscious notes of dark berries and plums gracefully intertwined with hints of spice and earth. This 2012 vintage is beautifully balanced, offering a dry finish that makes it a wonderful companion to grilled meats or hearty stews, ensuring it remains a delightful choice for any occasion.

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.
