Murcia · Spain
Murcia al Vino.
Murcia al Vino seduces with a silky, almost buttery texture that melts across the palate, releasing subtle notes of red wine and cream beneath its characteristically tangy goat milk foundation. The wine-bathed rind stains your fingers deep purple-magenta while imparting a gentle winey warmth to each bite—herbaceous and slightly earthy, never overpowering. It smells of fermented grapes and fresh goat milk, with a whisper of something mineral and wild.

The story
How it's made.
Why it tastes that way.
Murcia al Vino (also known internationally as Drunken Goat) is soaked in local Murcian red wine during the curing process, which gives the rind its characteristic purple-magenta color. Made from the milk of the Murciano-Granadina goat breed, it received PDO protection in 2001.
