The Candela family has been making wine at their estate in Yecla since 1925. The region is so arid and lacking in water, that even the evil phylloxera louse can't survive there! The grapes are farmed organically because, as the owner explains, "Nothing but the vine can live here!" Made from 35 year-old Monastrell (Mourvedre) vines, which produce extremely dark, blueberry scented wines. This wine is comprised of 50% Monastrell, 35% Syrah, and the balance Merlot and Tempranillo. Absolutely no oak was used to make this wine, but Monastrell (Mourvedre) yields a fair amount of tannins on its own, so expect a little oomph on the finish. Groovy earthy notes and pure blueberry fruit round out the package. An unbelievable value! Grilled cheddar burgers with bacon, BBQ brisket or pulled pork and pressed Cajun chicken sandwiches all fit the bill.
James Suckling: 90 Points
"Aromas of ripe black cherries and blackberries with hints of dried flowers, bark and wet soil. Medium-to full-bodied with creamy tannins and a round texture. Pure ripe-berry character on the palate with a lingering finish."
