Скачать или смотреть El Campeador, Syrah/Monastrell Overview with Owner Ben Darbyshire of Artiga Fustel in Jumilla, Spain

The El Campeador, Syrah/Monastrell is an honestly made wine that is impressive for this price point and from ancient bush vines (some 110+ years old) grown at high altitudes and aged for 3 months French and American oak barrels.

These wines are inspired by the cultures and people of the Spanish winelands and each one tells a unique story, lovingly brought to life by our passionate people. The vineyards are situated around the small town of Jumilla, in the southern Spanish province of Murcia. Syrah vines were planted at an altitude of between 650m and 700m, while the 110 year-old Monastrell vineyard sits at around 900m and pre-dates the great phylloxera attack that devastated the region`s viticulture in the early 20th century. This world-renowned wine producing region enjoys year-round sunshine and scant rainfall, producing miniscule, low-yielding vines that develop intensely fruit-forward and richly aromatic grapes.

Wrapped in a smooth and velvety texture, this blend of Syrah and Monastrell is delicious on its own and makes a great match for fillet steak, spicy buffalo wings, grilled vegetables and mature cheeses and all kinds of barbecue. A blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Monastrell & 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
