Alicante

The picturesque city of Alicante in the Valencia region of Spain has a vibrant tourism industry - which makes it all the more surprising that its wines are so little known outside of Spain. The region, lying on the southeastern border, produces a great variety of wines - from light and fruity whites to oak-aged Cabernet. It can also claim some of the best Moscatels in the country, as well as a unique rancio wine made from sun-dried Monastrell grapes called Fondillon.

Monastrell

A Spanish synonym for the dark-skinned Mourvèdre grape.
