Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Alicante?
Alicante is a picturesque region located on the southeastern coast of Spain, nestled against the Mediterranean Sea. This prime location not only provides Alicante with breathtaking landscapes but also creates the perfect climate for wine-growing. The coastal influences, paired with the warm Spanish sun and the protective mountain ranges, ensure that Alicante's terroir is one of a kind. The region's viticultural history is rich, with vine cultivation dating back to ancient times. Over the years, Alicante has become a beacon for wine enthusiasts, tourists, and historians alike, all eager to experience its cultural and oenological offerings.

Are wines from Alicante good and affordable?
Absolutely! Alicante, like many Spanish wine regions, is renowned for producing high-quality wines that offer exceptional value for money. The favorable climate, combined with generations of winemaking expertise, results in wines that showcase depth, character, and complexity. Moreover, Alicante's position outside the spotlight of Spain's most famed wine regions means that many of its stellar offerings remain undiscovered gems, often priced more affordably than their counterparts from more recognized areas. This combination of quality and value has endeared Alicante to wine lovers who appreciate both taste and economy.

What type of wine is Alicante most known for?
Alicante's wine claim to fame largely revolves around the Monastrell grape, known in other parts of the world as Mourvèdre. This grape thrives in Alicante's Mediterranean climate, producing wines that are deep in color, rich in fruit flavors, and accented with spicy undertones. These wines are known for their robust character, velvety textures, and long finishes. While Monastrell dominates, Alicante also produces excellent wines from other varieties, both indigenous and international, but it's the characterful Monastrell-based wines that truly capture the essence of this Spanish region.

What are the best wines from Alicante?
Determining the "best" wines from Alicante can be subjective, as personal preferences play a significant role. However, wines produced from the Monastrell grape, especially those from old vines, are highly regarded. These wines are celebrated for their intensity, depth, and the ability to age gracefully. Renowned producers in the region often blend Monastrell with other grape varieties, such as Garnacha or Syrah, adding layers of complexity to the wines. While specific recommendations can vary based on vintage and individual tastes, looking for Alicante wines with accolades from wine critics or high ratings in wine publications can be a good starting point for those unfamiliar with the region's offerings.
