Beyond the Label

The “road” to silky-smooth richness ends right here with this superb Spanish red.

Camino de Seda is crafted by rising star winemaker Mireia Altimira. It’s her homage to the famed “silk route” that once ran right through the sun-drenched vineyards of Jumilla. In fact, her Monastrell and Syrah grapes grow in a special ancient vineyard that’s encircled by mulberry trees—which happen to be the silk worm’s favorite dwelling. Making this place even more special, these ungrafted vines are rare survivors of the 1800s phylloxera plague, in which Europe's grape vines were nearly decimated by the tiny bug that gnawed on vine roots. (Read more below about how these vines are preserved.)

This luscious red has wowed international judges, scooping up multiple gold medals—for three vintages in a row. This 2023 edition has earned gold medals from top competitions, including Berliner Wein Trophy. Look forward to intense dark berry aromas and flavors, supported by hints of mocha, vanilla and earthy spice.

Camino de Seda is just the thing for a grilled lamb kebab or a plate of charcuterie and cheeses. But you’ll want to grab your share soon, before our limited bottles are snapped up by thirsty Spanish wine fans.

P.S. For the curious botanists, here's a word from the vinegrowers: "To guarantee the survival of our ancient vines, we use the “marcottage” replanting system. When a vine reaches the end of its long lifecycle, we take a branch of an adjacent vine and introduce it to the soil. They we guide the branch so that it emerges where the dead vine used to be. The branch remains connected to the origin vine for some years, until its roots are strong enough to keep growing on its own. This is a vital system, practically extinct due to its high costs and slow process, that they use to ensure the continuity of our original, historic and strong vines."
