Ripe and richly-flavoured Monastrell from the Jumilla region of south-east Spain.
Production
The 100% Monastrell grapes are sourced from bush vines cultivated in the north-east of the Jumilla region, on sandy, chalky soil at around 700m altitude. After hand-harvesting the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel, then maturation in French and American oak for around 4 months.

Meet the producer
From a producer with 100 years of wine heritage, the Paco Mulero wines are produced from vines cultivated in the north-eastern part of Jumilla - on high slopes with poor chalky, sandy soils. Particularly of note are those made from old, low-yielding Monastrell bush vines.
