Bodegas Bellavista, Vino Varietal de España La Mordida Tempranillo 2024

Bodegas Bellavista’s La Mordida Tempranillo 2024 is a richly fruity Spanish red from the distinguished D.O.P. Jumilla, shaped by the region’s dry, elevated vineyards and a distinctive appassimento-style approach. Produced by one of Jumilla’s oldest commercial wineries, established in 1870, it combines the character of Tempranillo with modern winemaking while preserving the estate’s traditional identity.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep ruby-red colour in the glass. Its warm, inviting nose reveals generous aromas of juicy red and dark fruits, with a subtle impression of wood adding depth. On the palate, ripe fruit is balanced by well-integrated oak and a smooth, harmonious structure, making the wine expressive without feeling heavy. The 2024 vintage is best enjoyed for its youthful fruit and freshness, although its concentration and integrated oak should allow it to develop further over the next few years when stored in a cool, dark cellar.

Production
The Tempranillo comes from Jumilla, a distinctive transition zone between Spain’s Mediterranean coast and the high plains of La Mancha. Vineyards in the D.O.P. extend across parallel valleys rising from approximately 400 to 950 metres, creating varied conditions well suited to quality and organic viticulture. For La Mordida, the grapes undergo an appassimento-inspired process, in which they are partially dried to concentrate their flavours, followed by modern vinification designed to retain the wine’s vibrant fruit while integrating its wood character.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for grilled or roasted meats, beef burgers, lamb, pork ribs and richly seasoned vegetable dishes. It also works well with mature cheeses and tapas featuring cured meats or smoky flavours. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential for this youthful vintage, but 20–30 minutes in a decanter can help open its fruit and soften its structure.

Producer
Bodegas Bellavista is a family-owned winery with roots dating back to 1870 and is recognised as the oldest commercial wine house in the Jumilla area. Located in the heart of the denomination, the winery combines a strong connection to local tradition with contemporary winemaking techniques. Its wines reflect the distinctive climate, altitude and landscape of southeastern Spain while remaining faithful to the identity of Jumilla.
