WINE DESCRIPTION

Barahonda Barrica Tinto is a red wine produced by Barahonda Winery in the Yecla appellation of Spain. This wine is a blend of Monastrell and Syrah grapes, which are grown in the vineyards located at high altitudes. The vineyards are characterized by their stony soils and a dry climate, which results in low yields and concentrated flavors. The winemaking process involves aging the wine in oak barrels for several months, which imparts a subtle vanilla and spice flavor to the wine. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with a deep ruby color and aromas of black fruit, licorice, and tobacco. The Barahonda Barrica Tinto is a perfect choice for those who enjoy bold and complex red wines.

The region is increasingly recognized for its high-quality wines, with Monastrell (Mourvèdre) reigning supreme as the dominant red grape variety. Murcia is home to three Denominaciones de Origen (DOs): Jumilla, Yecla, and Bullas.
