JUMENTA 2021 | JUMILLA

Once underrated, Spain's Jumila Wine region steps into the spotlight. Jumenta means flamingo. This red wine is rich and intense with a blend of Syrah, Merlot and Garnacha Tintorera. The latter one normally produces wines of an intense color and bold aroma. This wine comes from a rare region, Almansa, which is in the South East of the Albacete province next to the Jumilla region. 

Here's an interesting fact about this wine. Typically, red wines from Jumila seem to be too heavy to most people. . This wine, however has received fanfare from wine drinkers who enjoys a balanced everyday drinking. It has a deep, purple colour, strong nosing and is bursting with bold fruity flavour too. A dry young wine that is light on the tannins and acidity. It is a fresh wine with some body but a nice spicy finish to end with.
