Turret Fields Monastrell Shiraz, Jumilla

Turret Fields Monastrell Shiraz, Jumilla - A characteristically rich and powerful Monastrell-based red from Juan Gil. Low yielding 30-40 year old vines produce concentrated, warm and ripe fruit. There's also subtle spice and refined perfume from a 20% dash of Syrah with a deliciously savoury, toasty character (from 4 months in kiln dried American barriques)

The dynamic duo, South African winemaker Bruce Jack, of Flagstone
Winery, and Ed Adams MW hatched the plan to start La Báscula based on a
shared passion for Spanish wine, tapas, Paella, flamenco... all things Spanish! Six years ago the first wines from Jumilla were created under the La Báscula name and since then their vision has steadily expanded to cover winemaking projects in Yecla, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Catalonia and Alicante.

La Báscula meaning 'weighing scales' in Spanish is entirely appropriate as all the wines show a wonderful balance between high quality grapes from local varieties and world class winemaking. Bruce and Ed work with a handful of small, likeminded producers, including Juan Gil, to produce an varied range of modern Spanish wines with an innovative twist.
