November Tasting<\/strong><\/p>\n

A full house of 69 Members assembled at Ca La Iaia for the last tasting of the year, December being the Christmas function.\u00a0 Four red wines from their Bruma range were being presented by Elena and Loles from Bodegas Vi\u00f1aelena which is located in DO Jumilla.\u00a0\u00a0 The word Bruma means mist and reflects the early morning mists which they have in the valley where their winery is situated.\u00a0\u00a0 This family run bodega, one of the oldest in the region has initiated a project with the idea of making and marketing 100% Monastrell wines but combining the qualities of this variety with diversity of climates and soils that exist within Jumilla.\u00a0\u00a0 Three of the four red wines were 100% Monastrell; the fourth was a Cabernet Sauvignon.\u00a0 A full report on the tasting can be found on the Society\u2019s Web site by clicking on http:\/\/www.cbws.eu\/archive\/19th-november-2015-ca-la-iaia-moraira\/<\/u>\u00a0<\/span><\/a> Most of those present thought the meal was excellent and Ca La Iaia, being a favourite venue, did not disappoint.<\/span><\/p>\n
