La del Terreno Monastrell

Despite being an old cultivation area, Bullas is the youngest DO area in the Autonomous Community of Murcia. Although their wines have been linked for decades to emergency exportations to France during the phylloxera plague, and to reparations of alcohol content, colour and structure of famished wines from other areas, it has now broken this tradition thanks to the modernisation effort by some wine-makers and growers that have relied relentlessly on the Monastrell grape. The grapes are harvested once they are ripe, seeking less volume and alcohol content and more quality; this means that some have managed to gain national and international prestige and recognition.
