The Bodegas Bastida En Paradero Desconocido is an excellent example of how good the wines from Murcia in South East Spain have become. Medium-bodied with an aroma of fresh fruits of the forest, on the palate it's lively, well-fruited - strawberries, cherries, raspberries and plums - with a lovely lift of flowers that combine with the fresh, strawberry acidity to give it life and energy. Enjoy this on its own or with red meat or pink fish. About the Producer Founded in 1950, Bodegas Bastida is a
