Jumilla is one of the most underrated areas in Spain, and this richly structured, generous and jammy red shows both appeal and a wonderful complexity - with similarities between a top Bordeaux and Rhône blended with a good Rioja. From near Alicante, Bodega Ego are one of several stand out producers making use of the warm days and very cool nights.

Tasting Notes

It has a lovely lifted aroma of fresh berry fruits, raspberry and cherry in particular. The palate is full in flavour but not to powerful and has wonderful mouthfeel and texture. Notes of sweeter fruits come through on the finish and its a very satisfying wine.

Food Matches

The perfect accompaniment for slow cooked beef brisket with garlic, paprika and rosemary.

Vinification

Each of the 3 grape varieties ( Monastrell, Petit Verdot and Syrah ) are picked at optimum times and vinified separately, fermented on skins for around 25 days at a warm 28 degrees C, using a mixture of thermo tanks and concrete vats. A portion of each lot of wine is fermented in used American and French oak before final blending.
