The sun-drenched vineyards of Alicante are well known in Spain for the rich Monastrell grapes that flourish a mere 20 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea. This Monastrell comes from gifted Spanish wine importer Jorge Ordoñez, whose discerning portfolio reads like a who's-who of the Iberian wine scene. With black fruit and cracked pepper aromas and flavors, this medium- to full-bodied Spanish red is the perfect choice to serve with tapas such as Spanish ham and croquetas, but don't be shy about serving the Tineta with steaks or burgers either.
