Altos de la Hoya Monastrell

We're completely smitten with how this wine manages to be both powerful and elegant - it's Spanish intensity with a sophisticated edge that keeps you coming back for another glass, wondering how something can be so bold yet so refined at the same time. There's a compelling complexity here that reveals itself slowly, layer by layer, making each sip a small discovery while never losing that essential Spanish character that makes you want to pair it with bold flavours and good conversation that stretches late into the evening.

Bodegas Olivares is a true Jumilla pioneer, transforming what was once considered a bulk wine region into a source of compelling, terroir-driven bottles that compete with the best of Spain. The Olivares family has been farming these high-altitude vineyards since 1930, weathering decades of changing wine trends while staying true to their vision of what Jumilla could become, and their commitment to showcasing what this unique region can achieve at its best - with its extreme temperatures and ancient soils - is exactly the kind of passionate, place-driven winemaking that makes us believe in the magic of terroir.
