Description
This is a BIG fruity red that customers adore – and it’s dazzling with GOLD. (Gold and TWO Double Golds in fact!) Most of the fruit comes from the little-known Jumilla region, which stretches along Spain’s eastern coast. Akin to the desert landscapes seen in Spaghetti Westerns, Jumilla is home to some of Spain’s oldest Syrah and Monastrell vines, which produce small quantities of intensely flavoured grapes. Camino de Seda, meaning ‘Silk Road’, is produced by a winery just off this historic route which brought wealth and splendour to the region over 500 years ago.
It has been crafted for years by Scottish-born winemaker Pamela Geddes, who first gained experience in Australia. She learnt how to capture the freshness and fruitiness of grapes even in the hottest climates, so she’s right at home in Jumilla. With winemaker Raul Lopez now poised to carry on her great work, we can expect further successful vintages for Camino. This 2024 is perfect to enjoy with roast meats and hearty dishes.
