Staff Pick Notes

Made from Granacha and Monastrell comes this wonderfully crisp and aromatic rosé is perfect for summer sipping or just dreaming about summer while sipping. These ungrafted vines that somehow escaped the phylloxera pest, give this inexpensive Rosé a nice amount of structure and depth. Julmilla is a somewhat unknown but very old wine region in the southeast of the Iberian peninsula. The two grapes used here are better known as Grenache and Mourvèdre are responsible for some of your more famous rosés from Provence and Rhône valley.

Glossary

Spain

Central to the Spanish winemaking philosophy is the belief that wine should be released only when it is ready to be consumed, and not a moment before. Spanish wine law focuses squarely on this issue: the terms Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva are highly regulated indicators of the amount of time a wine has aged prior to its release. In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...

Grenache

The Grenache grape (a.k.a. Grenache Noir) produces relatively pale, fruity red wines that often stop just short of sweetness.

The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...

Jumilla

Just slightly inland off the Mediterranean Sea, this hot climate region is the ideal home for the red grape Monastrell (also called Mourvèdre in France). Wines from Jumilla are generally ripe and jammy, with loads of dark berry fruit intertwined with notes of baking spices, chocolate, and tea. These are very versatile food wines, and, at generally very modest prices, they are the perfect accompaniment to your Chinese take-out (or a heaping plate of barbeque spare ribs).
