Yecla

Legal name: DO Yecla
Yecla is a Spanish protected wine appellation in Murcia, useful for drinkers who want to move beyond the best-known Spanish regions. Its practical label identity is Murcia DO centered on warm-climate Monastrell. Typical wines are full-bodied reds with blackberry, plum, pepper, spice, and sun-warmed tannin; rosados also appear. The vineyard context is dry inland Mediterranean plateau with limestone, gravel, low rainfall, and high sunshine.
