Valencia | Val-En-See-Ya |

DO Alicante | Al-Ee Kahn-Teh | — Once the winemaking center of Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this region benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with warm days and nights during summer months. Rainfall is very low and the sandy soils contain high limestone content. This, combined with high-altitude vineyard locations, result in low-yielding vines and the highest quality wines in the region. The signature grape is Monastrell (Mourvèdre), which creates medium-bodied reds with a zesty, red fruit character.
