    Campos de Risca, Spain
    The Campos de Risca vineyard is comprised of approximately 200 hectares of "Risca", in different plots. The vines are planted at a low density, to allow a broad root system to develop, capturing all the available humidity in the soil. Above ground, the lack of humidity creates an atmosphere of less disease.

    Although most vineyards are not registered, viticulture in the region is practically organic by default. Its main grape varietal, Monastrell is resistant to drought; and is comprised of straggly bunches of small berries. The berries have thick skins and high acidity, so they need a lot of sun to ripen properly. In recent times, small amounts of Syrah have also been planted.

    Campos de Risca is the essence of a Monastrell wine, but occasionally a blend may need a touch of Syrah or sometimes even Cabernet to give it a better balance on the palate for the international wine drinker.

    Full of ripe fruit, and robust, earthy goodness, Mourvèdre is actually of Spanish provenance, where it still goes by the name Monastrell or Mataro. It is better associated however, with the Red Blends of the Rhône, namely Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Mourvèdre shines on its own in Bandol and is popular both as a single varietal wine in blends in the New World regions of Australia, California and Washington. Somm Secret—While Mourvèdre has been in California for many years, it didn’t gain momentum until the 1980s when a group of California winemakers inspired by the wines of the Rhône Valley finally began to renew a focus on it.

    Famous for the robust and earthy, black-fruit dominated, Monastrell (known as Mourvedre in France), Jumilla is an arid and hot region in southeastern Spain. Its vine yields tend to be torturously low but this can create wines of exceptional intensity and flavor. Quality combined with accessible price points give the region great recognition on international markets far and wide.

    The reds from Jumilla are heady and spicy, packed with fruit and show aromas of dried licorice and herbs. If you like Syrah, Grenache or Pinot noir, a red wine from Jumilla would be a perfect next choice!
