Talento Jumilla DOP Cuvee Alto 2021, Ego Bodegas
Download this wine's tasting notes
For ecologist and wine maker Irene Gomez, everything comes down to balance. This organic vineyard, on the dry, chalky soils of Murcia, presents numerous challenges that she takes in her stride, producing wines that are both soft and powerful, full-bodied but easy to drink. This Cuvée Alto has a rich, fruity palate leading to a smooth finish with perfectly integrated tannins.

Perennial favourite for Mundus Vini and Wine Enthusiast among others
In the glass
Dark red garnet colour with wild red berry, sweet spice, chocolate and discreet violet nose, and a juicy, well-rounded, blackberry and plum palate. Hints of spicy nutmeg and balsamic aromas prevail. Full of red fruit and floral flavours with a smooth tannin finish. A full-bodied red, perfect for every day.
"Good, full bodied red."
"Plenty of jammy red fruit aromas and very smooth drinking."
