Leslie Williams: A tale of two contrasting wine regions
A tale of two contrasting regions this week — Burgundy and Murcia in Eastern Spain.
The commune of Murcia is beside Valencia and home to the vineyards of Jumilla and Yecla; wines that often appear on this page. The grapes are grown at altitude so the cool nights can temper the heat of the days and the limestone soil helps retain moisture. This part of Spain has wonderful fruity wines at great prices.
