Primitivo Quiles, D.O. Alicante
Located a few hours south of Cataluña along Spain's East coast, the vineyards of the Levante grow on land that rises up from the Mediterranean coast. Grape vines were introduced into Alicante by the Phoenicians, wine was made here by the Romans and the praises of Alicante wines were sung by the Moors.
Primitivo Quiles as a bodega and as a family (Quiles) have been involved with wine in the Alicante region since 1780. The bodega, based in Monóvar is the oldest bodega in Alicante, and quite possibly in all of Valencia. Over the centuries Primitivo Quiles has continued to sepcialise in two native varieties of the region: Monastrell and Moscatel.

Fragrant, almost headily so – fruity, fresh, floral with some nice wild exuberant earthiness. Smells of oranges,straw, billy tea and raisiny grapiness. Full-bodied, but not too sweet. Moscatel hedonism, and a bargain. |
