Carchelo Jumilla Monastrell Mourvedre 2001
Varietal: Mourvedre
Vineyard: Bodegas Agapito Rico Carchelo
Region: Other Spain, Spain
Carchelo's Jumilla Monastrell is a wine conceived to feature the compelling aromas and extract of the low-yield Monastrell. Judicious use of Merlot adds stability and ageability while further enhancing Monastrell's velvety, rich and complex style.
This vintage is based upon a selection of Monastrell from ungrafted vines and Merlot, with smaller percentages of Syrah, Tempranillo and Cabernet.
Ripe, dense and velvety, the Jumilla has a fresh berry nose and flavors of black fruit and sandalwood. Thick and mouthfilling, it finishes with a lingering, chocolate-raspberry flavor on the palate.
Whether you serve the Carchelo with flautas, tacos, hamburgers, ribs, pork barbecue or rack of lamb, this is a wine rich in flavor to savor!
