Tesoro de Rosario Monastrell Shiraz 2021

Bullas

Enjoy a weighty, rich, spicy red, blended from native hero Monastrell and Shiraz. All the handpicked grapes are from ancient bush vines in remote Bullas, making a gorgeous rich style similar to the super trendy wines of Bierzo, but much better value.

Tucked away in a remote corner of Spain, high up in the hills and hidden by dense forest, Bullas is one of Spain’s oldest winemaking regions. The Romans made wine here over 2,000 years ago, proven by the ancient artefacts discovered there. This rich red is made nearly all from Monastrell, grown on ancient, gnarled bush vines that produce tiny berries with great intensity of flavour. Thanks to the altitude of the vineyards, the grapes ripen slowly, lending elegance, too. Added to that is a splash of ripe, juicy Shiraz to lend some spicy blackberry notes. The highly praised winemaker Norrel Robertson, nicknamed The Flying Scotsman, has captured all that flavour in this gently oaked red – a treat with lamb or hearty casseroles. Decant early.

"Monastrell delight. Dry, herby and packed full of cherry and raspberry flavours. Decant to open up" 5-Star Online Review
