Murcia, nestled in southeastern Spain's warm and dry climate, boasts a long history of winemaking dating back to Roman times. 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. Each DO showcases the unique potential of Monastrell within its specific terroir, resulting in a range of bold and fruity red wines. Beyond reds, Murcia offers white and rosé styles as well.CUSTOMER RATING
