The Murcia region is located in the south-eastern part of Spain. Thanks to its continental and mediterranean climates, the grapes in this area are highly concentrated and sweet. Murcia boasts three appellations of origin : Bullas, Jumilla and Yecla. This land is ideal for the Monastrell grape (Mourvèdre in France), a wonderfully tannic, and slightly acidic variety. The Monastrell variety is generous, full-bodied, and summons a number of aromas like fruit, pepper and truffle. The other red grape varieties found here are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. For the whites, Macabeo and Airén are common. In addition to these two typical Spanish grapes, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat and Pedro Ximénez are harvested in this region.
