"Gabriel Martinez Valero (a.k.a. Gabi), has always lived in Jumilla, where wine has been made since before Roman times. Gabi’s family is thought to be one of the families that used to export their Monastrell wines to France in the mid XIX Century, when phylloxera was devastating the French vineyards. The southern French vignerons fell in love with these wines that they started calling it Mourvedre, after the Mediterranean town of Morvedro (Morverdre in the local Valenciano language) where most of the wine was loaded in boats to go to France.
The wines shows an array of blackberries, blueberry jam, plum skin, cedar, very spicy with hints of lavender, dried wild grasses, thyme and a long aftertaste."

DRINK PINK & DRINK WITH PRIDE!

Rose has a longer and more noble history than most of us think.

Before Champagne was Champagne, their wine was still and pink. 
The most common Roman wines were pink.
The  wines of the Ancient Greeks? Pink!
 
So with a nod to history, and deepest respect for the rosy hue of their latest bottle, Christi & Alex open a wine from Provencal and give it the podcast treatment!

It's Wine! It's Fun! It's Freeing! 

Grab a glass of something you love, put in the earbuds and tune in  SOMM-Thing To Drink About's latest episode!

Winemaker Notes
Pale with a bright yellow color. The nose is fresh and very delicate. Far from the intense floral style, this wine exhibits a great delicacy and shows more citrus aromas and subtle floral notes on the nose. The wine is quite dry and has a has a harmonious finish with a medium length.This is a very easy drinking wine that can be used with many types of foods (light Asian/spicy, white meat, mixed salads, smoked fish etc.).
