Vivir Sin Dormir

Jumilla Monastrell

The Bodegas Antonio Arraez Vivir Sin Dormir Monastrell from Jumilla is a testament to the robust and sun-drenched character of Spain's southeastern vineyards. This red wine exudes a full-bodied presence, with a vivid and dark ruby hue that hints at its intensity. Bursting with ripe blackfruit flavors like blackberry and plum, it offers a bright, mouthwatering acidity that perfectly balances its rich fruit profile. The tannins are notably firm, providing structure and a lingering finish that speaks to its well-crafted nature. This expressive Monastrell is both a celebration of the Jumilla region's winemaking heritage and a delight for those seeking a powerful yet harmonious wine experience. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes, Vivir Sin Dormir is sure to impress with its depth and lively character.

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.
