Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Monastrell is the Spanish name for Mourvèdre, and around Alicante it grows on poor limestone soils at altitude — which is what keeps a variety this powerful from tipping into jamminess. Bodegas Volver work with old dry-grown vines in the Vinalopó. Blackberry and dark cherry with cocoa, thyme, licorice and a savoury Mediterranean herb edge. Full-bodied with firm tannin and a long finish. The value here is considerable: old-vine material and real structure at a price the region's obscurity keeps low.
