"Vivir sin Dormir" DO Jumilla 2021

La Jumilla, a Spanish DO, is located in Murcia, in the south-east of the country. This area is characterised by an arid and hot climate, with cold winters and torrid summers. Here, the main grape variety cultivated is Monastrell, which accounts for more than 80% of grape production. A variety perfectly adapted to the dry and hot climate of the region, capable of producing rich, tannic and intense wines with an aroma of dark fruit and spices. A fine example is this Vivir sin Dormir, which comes from grapes harvested in certified organic vineyards for over 30 years. We are at an altitude of around 650 metres. The slightly late harvest and a double selection of grapes, in the field and in the cellar, allow Bodegas Arráez to process only raw material of the highest quality. Intense red-purple in colour, it impresses on the nose with its aromas of pepper and hints of roasting. In the mouth, however, it is an enveloping wine, with a clear predominance of well-ripened red and black fruit. Powerful, well-structured and persistent. A wine with great personality, it perfectly accompanies Mediterranean cuisine.
