Murcia is an undiscovered gem among Spanish wines. And that's a shame, because all the elements needed to make great wines are present in this southern region: a sun that works overtime, a beautiful terroir, and a pleasant coastal breeze. Bellavista also saw that they had the best conditions behind them. The Spanish classic Tempranillo was therefore planted in the best-situated spots in Murcia; where all the conditions perfectly converge. However, the unique selling point of this wine lies in the vinification. Before the grapes are pressed, a portion of the bunches are dried to give it a more intense and concentrated character. This technique was borrowed from Italian Appassimento wines, but apparently also applies incredibly well to Spanish vineyards.
This Appassimento technique in Bellavista Tempranillo La Mordida gives the wine a unique and distinct character. Thicker, firmer, almost jammy. Plenty of dark fruit and temperament in every sip of Bellavista Tempranillo La Mordida. On the palate, the wine is warm and sultry, like falling into a warm bed. Perfectly balanced on the finish, where fruit and oak battle for dominance.
