This organic Syrah from Jumilla, Murcia has a deep plum colour and good body. First sight announces a feast of aromas, a surprising combination of fresh and ripe fruit notes like plums and cherries, blackcurrant and blueberries with a trace of fresh mint, along with violet, cedar, pine and a mineral dash. Early harvested for a lighter body and smoother palate than the usual Syrah red, this is as easy to drink as full of varietal flavours.

'Three tick showstopper'
100x100 from Jumilla is a three tick showstopper wine. This organic syrah is absurd value at £11.60. It was a real surprise when I drank it. Perfumed and aromatic, smoky red fruits. Deeply and comfortingly red. Brilliantly balanced with soft tannins and not even that alcoholic like a lot of Spanish reds can be. A real delight.
