Description This big, fruit-packed red wine is 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 intense 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’s now crafted by Raul Lopez, who carries on the great work of former winemaker, Scottish-born Pamela Geddes. He knows exactly how to capture the freshness and fruitiness of grapes even under the hot, baking sun. Velvety smooth, this is a red to enjoy with hearty dishes and roast meats.
