  • Destination Region of Murcia
    PRESS Destination Region of Murcia Region of Murcia The Region of Murcia is located in south-east Spain on what is known as the Mediterranean Arc. Set between two seas –the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor– as a region, it has succeeded in combining its extensive cultural heritage with innovation and avant-garde artistic tendencies. Its most important cities are Murcia, the capital, with more than 440,000 inhabitants, Cartagena with more than 214,000 and Lorca with more than 90,000. The Region of Murcia has a population of around one and a half million and covers an area of 11,300km2. Although it is not a very large region, it offers 252km of coast and an astonishing variety of different landscapes considering its size. Diverse and accessible, it only takes a few hours to travel the length and breadth of the region. Mountains, beaches and cities dot the landscape and visitors will find history at every turn. Another of the Region of Murcia’s main attractions is its particularly good weather, with average temperatures in excess of 19ºC and 315 days of sun a year. All these factors offer visitors the opportunity to choose between a wide range of alternatives when organising their stay in the Region of Murcia. It is a destination full of contrasts, where everything is close at hand and easily accessible. Although the driving force behind the Region of Murcia’s economy has traditionally been agriculture, the Regional Government has made a firm commitment to converting the tourist sector into one of the pillars of the region’s economy.

  • Sismicidad Y Tectónica De La Región De Murcia
    Sismicidad y Tectónica de la Región de Murcia Actividad tectónica reciente de fallas Fallas neotectónicas y activas grandes fallas son estructuras tectónicas lineales que conforman una zona de deformación (zona de falla) de ancho variable, normalmente entre 1 y 5 km, que se reconoce en superficie por longitudes de al menos 30 km, si bien éstas superan con frecuencia los 50 km, llegando excepcionalmente a 100 km en algunos casos. Casi todas las grandes fallas se pueden compartimentar en segmentos tectónicos diferenciados, que pueden presentar longitudes desde los 10-15 km hasta unos 40 km en las fallas más continuas. Las grandes fallas de la Región de Murcia pueden clasificarse de modo sencillo en cinco grupos según su actividad tectónica reciente reconocida: “Muy Baja”, “Baja”, “Media”, “Alta” y “Muy Alta”. Las clases “Muy Baja” y “Baja” califican fallas en las que no se han reconocido deformaciones en depósitos del Cuaternario o posteriores al Pleistoceno Inferior, respectivamente, y, en los que los procesos geomorfológicos asociados indican una actividad muy baja o baja. Las fallas de clase “Media” presentan procesos geomorfológicos asociados a indicadores de cierta actividad y la edad de la última deformación reconocida es al menos Pleistoceno Medio. La clase “Alta” se corresponde con fallas que deforman depósitos de edad al menos Pleistoceno Superior y presentan tasas de deslizamiento entre 0,05-0,10 m/ka (1000 años). La clase “Muy alta” la forman fallas con tasas de deslizamiento superiores a 0,10 m/ka y con deformaciones reconocidas en materiales del Pleistoceno Superior y en algunos casos del Holoceno.

  • The Candela Family Know Their Way Around the Yecla DO and Its Native Grapes, Having Founded the Señorio De Barahonda Winery In
    Carro The Candela family know their way around the Yecla DO and its native grapes, having founded the Señorio de Barahonda winery in 1925 (the oldest in the region) and handing down their artisan spirit through four generations. They live with the conviction that good wine is made in the vineyard, and their estate is farmed accordingly. Their 340 hectares (840 acres) are planted on sandy limestone soils and farmed organically, using no additional irrigation despite the extremely dry climate. Here, gnarly-looking Monastrell vines stand their ground against the scorching summer days and freezing winter nights, occasionally soothed by a westerly Mediterranean breeze. Carro Tinto is completely unoaked, making it unapologetically juicy, bright, and eager for a sunny day by the grill. It complements the power of Monastrell with smaller proportions of Syrah, Merlot, and Tempranillo, making a wine that is both rich and approachable. In a word, Carro is the best introduction one can taste from the extreme vineyards of Yecla. WHAT MAKES THIS WINE UNIQUE?: Limestone-rich soils and only estate-owned grapes. The amount of care and the quality of the grapes that go into Carro are unparalleled in the region and the same used for more exclusive Barahonda cuvées. 100% unoaked. Carro is made using a Rhone-like blend that balances the earthiness of Monastrell and makes it extremely approachable: a perfect bridge for new world wine lovers looking to dip their toe into Spanish wine. RATING HISTORY: 2019 90JS, 90VM; 2018 90JS; 2016 90JS; 2015 90VN; 2014 90RP GRAPE: 50% Monastrell, 20% Syrah, 20% Merlot, 10% Tempranillo.

  • Prospect on Rare Earth Elements and Metals Fingerprint for the Geographical Discrimination of Commercial Spanish Wines
    molecules Article Prospect on Rare Earth Elements and Metals Fingerprint for the Geographical Discrimination of Commercial Spanish Wines Claudia Cerutti 1, Raquel Sánchez 2,* , Carlos Sánchez 2, Francisco Ardini 1, Marco Grotti 1 and José-Luis Todolí 2 1 Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry, University of Genoa, Via Dodecaneso 31, 16146 Genoa, Italy; [email protected] (C.C.); [email protected] (F.A.); [email protected] (M.G.) 2 Department of Analytical Chemistry, Nutrition and Food Science, University of Alicante, P.O. Box 99, 03080 Alicante, Spain; [email protected] (C.S.); [email protected] (J.-L.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 November 2020; Accepted: 25 November 2020; Published: 28 November 2020 Abstract: This paper presents a novel tool for Spanish commercial wine discrimination according to their designation of origin (PDO). A total of 65 commercial wines from different Spanish designation of origin (Alicante, Bullas, Campo de Borja, Jumilla, Castilla la Mancha, Ribeiro, Ribera de Duero, Rioja, Rueda, Utiel-Requena, Valdepeñas and Valencia) were characterized. The rare earth elements (REEs) content was determined by a high-temperature torch integrated sample introduction system (hTISIS) coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The REE content was used to draw characteristic PDOs radar charts. Results indicated that the REEs fingerprint provides a good prospect to discriminate the different Spanish PDOs, except for Alicante, Castilla la Mancha, Jumilla, Utiel-Requena and Valdepeñas. Finally, for those PDOs that were not properly distinguished, a second fingerprint obtained from Ba, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb and V content was used for discrimination purposes.
