**Yecla** is a compact wine appellation in the Murcia region of southeastern Spain, centred on the town of the same name. **Wines & grapes** — Robust reds define it, built chiefly on Monastrell (the grape known elsewhere as Mourvèdre), which thrives in the heat, alongside Garnacha and other varieties. **Character** — The climate is hot and dry with a semi-continental character, and the sun-baked conditions ripen Monastrell to give deeply coloured, full-bodied reds with ripe dark fruit and firm structure. Modest rainfall and stony soils keep yields low and flavours concentrated in this warm inland corner of Spain.
