Olivares, Altos de Hoya Monastrell, Jumilla, Spain, 2018

Made from ungrafted old vines planted at 825m, this characterful red offers plenty of bang for your buck. Intense, fruity nose with fresh blackberries, plums and baked fruit plus earthy, herbal tones. The concentrated palate is packed with dark plum and mulberry fruit, underpinned by fresh acidity and gently framed by spicy notes from six months in French oak.
