Taba Monastrell

Finca Bacara • Murcia • Spain

Taba Monastrell by Finca Bacara is a bold red from sunny Murcia in Spain. Expect lots of dark fruit, like blackberries and plums, but it’s not jammy—there’s a bit of spice and earthiness to keep things balanced. The tannins are there, but won’t dry your mouth out. This is a no-nonsense, medium-to-full-bodied wine that’s great with anything from burgers to roast lamb, or just on its own after a long day. It’s not overly heavy or complicated—just solid, tasty Monastrell that does the job. Drink it whenever you want something easy but with a bit more punch than your average red.

Monastrell Monastrell is a red grape mostly grown in Spain (sometimes called Mourvèdre elsewhere). Expect bold, dark fruit flavours—think blackberry and plum—with a bit of a wild, earthy edge. The wines are usually full-bodied and can feel quite rich and hearty. Acidity is moderate, so they’re not sharp but not flabby. Tannins can be pretty grippy, which makes these wines good with red meat and barbecued food. You’ll find Monastrell mostly in powerful red blends and some punchy single-varietal bottles.

The winery is known for its commitment to sustainable farming practices, focusing on organic and biodynamic cultivation methods. Finca Bacara's vineyards are situated at high altitudes, allowing for optimal ripening conditions and the development of complex flavors in their grapes. The winery specializes in producing red wines, particularly those made from the indigenous Monastrell grape variety, which thrives in the warm and dry climate of Jumilla. Finca Bacara's wines are characterized by their deep color, bold fruit flavors, and well-integrated tannins. The winery has garnered recognition for its high-quality wines and is gaining popularity among wine enthusiasts both locally and internationally.
Murcia Murcia is a hot, dry region in southeast Spain, and it’s all about bold reds. The main grape here is Monastrell (also called Mourvèdre elsewhere), which loves the sun and heat. Most wines are full-bodied, fruity, and pack a decent punch—great if you’re into richer styles. You’ll also come across some Syrah and Tempranillo, but Monastrell is the real star. Whites are much less common. Overall, Murcia is the place to look if you want affordable, no-nonsense reds with loads of flavor and not too much fuss.
Spain Spain is a monster when it comes to wine. It’s one of the biggest producers in the world, and you’ll find everything from solid everyday bottles to fancy aged stuff. The main regions to know are Rioja (famous for Tempranillo reds), Ribera del Duero (also Tempranillo), and Rías Baixas (where crisp Albariño whites come from). There’s also Cava for fizz and Sherry for some weird but wonderful fortified options. The style can be pretty bold and fruity, especially with reds, but you’ll also get plenty of oak and spice from some regions. Whites are getting better and better, especially from cooler areas. Spanish wine is usually great value, whether you’re after a simple table bottle or something to show off.
