Campo Arriba 2022 Old Vines Monastrell-Syrah

This 2022 vintage comes from the “Campo Arriba” vineyard, located at about 700–800 m elevation in the Yecla DO (Murcia, Spain). The high altitude and diurnal temperature swings slow ripening, helping build depth and complexity. The blend is roughly 70 % Monastrell (Mourvèdre), 20 % Syrah and 10 % Garnacha Tintorera. After that the wine is aged for 8 months in French-oak barrels before bottling.

Ripe blackberry and blueberry aromas mingle with hints of dried herbs, black pepper, and a touch of floral lift. The palate is full-bodied and smooth, driven by concentrated dark fruit layered with subtle cocoa and earthy spice. Firm, chalky tannins and bright acidity give structure and balance, leading to a clean, gently spiced finish.
