Bajel Pirata, Monastrell, Alicante, 2023
We have been selling this for a few years and we don’t think we have given it enough credit. Wines from Monastrell
(Mourvèdre) can be so attractive when the grapes enjoy the heat of Spain. A smooth, easy-drinking quaffer, red and
black-fruited, with a little substance, lightly savoury. Now-2025
What Spain delivers in spades is ripe, authentic red wine at a very fair price. The Monastrell (= Mourvedre) grape is the country's lesser-known winner, making deeply coloured, ripe and full-flavoured wines (far more tasty, incidentally, than weedy, over-cropped Tempranillo).
Simon's choice of what to drink at home: "Everyone needs a red you can marinade with, cook with and drink at the same time: this black-fruited, juicy and lightly savoury red hits the spot. Monastrell (= Mourvèdre) is Spain’s under-rated grape".
Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
