The Costa Blanca belongs firmly to the latter. Here, between the rolling hills of the Marina Alta and the sun-drenched plains around Villena, wine grows quietly. No mass production, no flashy labels \u2014 just honest grapes, passionate winemakers and a landscape that reveals more than you\u2019d expect at first glance. <br \/>Time, then, for a story about Spanish wines from the Costa Blanca.    <\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"631\" data-end=\"673\">A region with character: D.O. Alicante<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"1029\">The official D.O. Alicante designation covers a surprisingly diverse area. In the northern, more coastal part around Jal\u00f3n and Benissa, you\u2019ll find fresh, floral wines \u2014 especially those made from <strong data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"875\">Moscatel<\/strong>. This aromatic grape, often associated with sweet wines, reveals a drier, more mineral side here. Perfect with a plate of prawns by the sea.   <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1031\" data-end=\"1393\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12674 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/thesoundofthecosta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spaanse-wijnen-Costa-Blanca_1.jpg\" alt=\"Spanish wines Costa Blanca 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesoundofthecosta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spaanse-wijnen-Costa-Blanca_1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thesoundofthecosta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spaanse-wijnen-Costa-Blanca_1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thesoundofthecosta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spaanse-wijnen-Costa-Blanca_1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/thesoundofthecosta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spaanse-wijnen-Costa-Blanca_1-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><em data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1223\">\u201cMany people associate Moscatel with sweetness. But in the Marina Alta, this grape shows off its fresh, dry side.\u201d<br data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1226\"><\/em>\u2014 Enrique, sommelier at BonAmb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1031\" data-end=\"1393\">At the restaurant BonAmb in J\u00e1vea, I speak with the passionate sommelier Enrique. <br \/>\u201cFor many years, the Marina Alta was mainly known for bulk Moscatel and Mistela \u2014 often misunderstood, even by the locals. But that\u2019s changed. These days you\u2019ll find dry Moscatels, amphora-aged versions, sparkling styles, and a renewed appreciation for native grapes like Merseguera. Even our red wines, from varieties such as Monastrell and Gir\u00f3, are now receiving international praise from critics like Jancis Robinson and Robert Parker.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1031\" data-end=\"1393\">Further south, around Mon\u00f3var and Villena, Monastrell takes centre stage \u2014 a deep, dark grape that produces bold, full-bodied red wines with a warm, spicy character. Think ripe black fruit, liquorice, and a hint of rosemary. These are not wines for a light lunch salad \u2014 they call for something with substance: grilled meat, aged Manchego, or a hearty stew.  <\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1415\">Wine with roots<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1749\">What makes the Costa Blanca unique is how deeply wine is woven into the landscape. Vineyards here aren\u2019t tourist attractions \u2014 they\u2019re part of everyday village life. Small-scale producers use age-old techniques, often organic, and sometimes with a touch of minimalism in the cellar: low intervention, high expression.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"2267\">In the hills around Jal\u00f3n, you might find yourself at a Saturday tasting, sipping between the barrels while the winemaker\u2019s dog ambles past your feet. Or you settle in for a menu degustaci\u00f3n, where each course is perfectly matched with a local wine that instinctively knows the dish. You know the kind of place \u2014 where the wine list is as thoughtfully composed as the menu itself. For those in the know, it\u2019s a subtle nod to the style of restaurants like Enrique\u2019s BonAmb, Casa Pepa or La Finca.   <\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2269\" data-end=\"2301\">Surprises off the menu<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2303\" data-end=\"2540\">Alongside the classic grape varieties, new interpretations are appearing more and more often: orange wines made from Moscatel, natural cava-style sparklings, or blends with international grapes like Syrah and Cabernet that still manage to feel unmistakably Spanish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2542\" data-end=\"2826\">Locally, you\u2019ll also come across <strong data-start=\"2562\" data-end=\"2575\">Fondill\u00f3n<\/strong> \u2014 a unique, oxidatively aged wine made from Monastrell, produced exclusively in Alicante. It\u2019s a Spanish classic with deep notes of dried fruit, wood and balsamic \u2014 once prized at European courts, and now slowly being rediscovered by wine lovers. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2542\" data-end=\"2826\"><em data-start=\"3530\" data-end=\"3643\">\u201cFondill\u00f3n isn\u2019t a curiosity \u2014 it\u2019s liquid heritage, with a future in modern gastronomy.\u201d<br data-start=\"3643\" data-end=\"3646\"><\/em>\u2014 Enrique, sommelier at BonAmb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2542\" data-end=\"2826\">When the conversation turns to Fondill\u00f3n, Enrique\u2019s passion truly shines through. \u201cFondill\u00f3n is Alicante\u2019s great wine treasure \u2014 a royal wine with roots dating back to 1498. It was once the most expensive wine in the world, praised by Shakespeare, mentioned by Dumas, and served at the court of Louis XIV. For me, it represents our history and identity. In today\u2019s gastronomy, it\u2019s incredibly versatile \u2014 paired with blue cheese or turr\u00f3n, as a dessert wine, or even as a secret ingredient in rich sauces. It\u2019s a heritage with a future.\u201d <\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2828\" data-end=\"2856\">Wine routes and places to visit<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2858\" data-end=\"3235\">For those who want to experience it firsthand, there are wine routes running through bodegas in <strong data-start=\"2917\" data-end=\"2964\">Jal\u00f3n, Benissa, Parcent, Algue\u00f1a and Villena<\/strong>. Some are small-scale and family-run, others more modern with a touch of architectural style. A great starting point is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rutadelvinodealicante.com\/en\/inicio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ruta del Vino de Alicante<\/a>, which offers a curated selection of tastings, tours and vineyard stays.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2858\" data-end=\"3235\">Wine here is no afterthought. It\u2019s a cultural product \u2014 a landscape in liquid form. And the Costa Blanca is its quiet treasure trove. Take your time, taste with intention \u2014 and let yourself be surprised by what rises from this sun-drenched soil, glass after glass.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are places where wine is just a drink \u2014 and places where it tells a story.
