Jumilla is pleased to announce \u201cInternational Wine Review\u201d has published its report on Jumilla, the publication\u2019s 14th in-depth report on the wines of Spain. @iwinereview<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoy this series of excerpts from recently published report by Donald Winkler @iwinereview1<\/p>\n

The Wines of Jumilla is our 14th in-depth report on the wines of Spain. Our recent visit to the region showed it is one of Spain\u2019s most unique appellations. Famed for its production of Monastrell, known as Mourv\u00e8dre or Mataro outside Spain, Jumilla is very dry and mountainous with mostly rocky vineyards of limestone soils and Europe\u2019s largest collection of ungrafted vines (called pie franco in Spanish), over one thousand hectares (ha). These old, unirrigated Monastrell bush vines are well adapted to this terroir, and about 90% of them are farmed organically.<\/p>\n

Many of Jumilla\u2019s wines are relatively inexpensive and offer outstanding quality for the price. There are also higher priced wines that rank among Spain\u2019s finest. For both consumers looking for value and connoisseurs looking for special, high-quality wines, Jumilla\u2019s Monastrell should be a wine of choice.<\/p>\n

This report begins with a brief account of the long history of wine in Jumilla with focus on the last quarter century. It then examines how the Monastrell grape is uniquely suited to Jumilla\u2019s arid terroir. After that, we explore the vineyards and winemaking of Jumilla followed by a special section on the region\u2019s wonderful cuisine. Finally, we present profiles of the principal wineries and reviews of their wines to help guide readers in purchasing wines from Jumilla.<\/p>\n
